I am creating an application that will use timezones, both nationally and internationally. Are there any resources on the net that I can get a list of time zones, or development insight
I don't know if you are familiar with SimpleTimeZone, but that is what I am using for this project. However, it requires the Abbreviation and Daylight Abbreviations. Is there somewhere I can get this information I can't find information on half the Time Zone's listed in the registry.
On the site where SimpleTimeZone comes from, there's also source for a Win32.TimeZones class (it's in VB.NET, so yuck, but anyway): it implements a GetAbbreviation function which just takes the upper case letters from the Standard and Daylight names. It also provides a GetTimeZones function which returns an array of all available zones as SimpleTimeZone objects. There's a link to it at the bottom of this page.
