      I live in the Netherlands and write applications for Dutch customers. I don't deal with time zones either... As far as I know most of Europe that only writes for their own country doesn't.

      It's an OO world.

      public class SanderRossel : Lazy<Person>
      {
      public void DoWork()
      {
      throw new NotSupportedException();
      }
      }

        There are many more comfortable climates where you do not need to deal with time zones for in country apps. Iceland is a little too close to Mother at her most aggressive for my taste.

          I'd prefer the Caribbean. Taime zones, Mon? Tcha! Maybe tomorrow.

          I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

            In the Netherlands? Which bit? Curaçao? Aruba? Sint Maartin? Surely they have several times zones. In the Netherlands has something we in Britain do not have, a Land Border with France. Aren't we lucky!

              I once had to explain to a lead developer in a project why his app was caclulating differently on a computer with Swedish settings or US settings... [^]

                Most Dutchies don't even consider those as part of the Netherlands, me included...

                  I seriously do not understand how this can be still be a bloody issue. Record using a proper date-time data type and format for the local time zone - 5pm in London == 12 noon in New York == 1862 in Paris.

                      :confused: Last time I checked the Netherlands doesn't have a border with France (or am I missing some obscure small piece of land that was annexed by them?) . You might be thinking of Belgium (they are different country's you know :) )
