Solution 1

You will need to set the culture at application level. You can do that in web.config file in globalization node. For more details on how to do it, please refer this article - HOW TO: Set Culture Information in an ASP.NET Application Without Code[^].

Hope that helps!

Thanks Ankur.

I have tried with Web config option. Not working. When client place order from Ireland there is time mismatch and the order is placed by next day date.

So you have voted the answer down. Great!
Where are you recording the time? Are you passing it from your application or are you doing it in the database proc?

At application level.

Then it must get culture specific time. There is something wrong in your code. Try to log the time that you are sending. Also log the culture specific value.
The best practice is to save the date time in UTC and convert it to specific culture while displaying. Google for keywords like 'saving date time different culture design' to read more about it.

Solution 2

set the culture info as US format

IFormatProvider theCultureInfo = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US", true);

If I use the second solution it means that I need to update each and every page in my application.
Is there any solution rather than this.
