I'd guess that your local machine is running on local time, and the server is (very sensibly) running on UTC.

How does it fail? Does it insert wrong values in DB or doesn't convert at all?

Member 13509784 8-Nov-17 5:37am

inserts the record into db without converting it to utc

yeha like Peter sayd.. what value is 'Mytime' sure it is in local time zone on dev server?

and why search UTC ....
TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeToUtc(MyTime)

Mytime value i am passing it from the view.dynamically i can give anyvalue.

so MyTime.ToString("o") gives the right timezone offset, or just a "Z" at the end? (on dev server)
