It was ugly...much of the data has been derived from the tz database. I have assigned a default timezone for each region in a country based upon available data. Obviously, such is not always correct for a particular location (e.g. the state of Indiana in the U.S.). Time zone data lowest on the tree takes precedence (i.e. the particular location's info is utilized over regional and/or country info).

Hi Andre,
I am working on a similar project myself. Would also be interested to know how you assigned timezones to Country's Region.
Thanks

Hey all...
A few days away from completing a Windows (32bit) app and accompanying ActiveX control for time zone stuff
Need some testers to trash it for me. Please send me an email (andre-tascha.lamme at ironriver.com) if interested. (Let me know if you want the control or the app)
Basic specs on the app/ActiveX:
- Have approximately 28,000 locations (cities, etc.)
- Each location is based on a Region (e.g. Asia), Country (ISO3166-1) and a Country's regional info (ISO3166-2) if applicable. Each location has GMTOffset and standard DST info (if observes, the dates and amounts of offset).
- In the app, one can browse or search through locations and add them to actives (i.e. for display).
- Can add new locations (still debating whether or not I want to deal with allowing folks to send me their additions).
- Can add people identifiers and assign them to existing locations. (Allows you to see what time it is where "Aunt Mathilda" is, rather than just generic "Providence, Rhode Island").
- Can set alarms/reminders to go off as of the specified time for a target location (i.e. Aunt Mathilda wants you to call her at 15:00 her time)
- Any other suggestions?
thanks...
Andre'-Tascha
