Hi Russell,<br>
<br>
I developed an open source .NET API which you might find helpful with your C# application which is available at:<br>
http://www.codeplex.com/zoneinfo<br>
<br>
I have a codeproject article about it as well at:<br>
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/locale/zoneinfo_dotnet_api.aspx<br>
<br>
You can read through the code if you are interested in seeing how I interpreted this information.<br>
<br>
Kind regards<br>
<br>

<div></div>Hi,<br><br>I hope i'm not wasting your time. I'm attempting to
read the tz database into a c# application, and I'm not sure how to interpret
this entry:<br><br>Zone Australia/Hobart
9:49:16 - LMT 1895
Sep<br>
10:00 - EST 1916 Oct 1
2:00<br>
10:00 1:00 EST 1917
Feb<br>
10:00 Aus EST
1967<br>
10:00 AT EST<br><br>What is the significance
of the "1:00" on the row ending in "1917 Feb". Do I just add this to the
10:00 offset?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Russell<br><br><br></body>
