Saving the date & time using the web regional settings

When you’re processing an event on the server you’ll often need to use the web’s regional settings for date and time rather than the server’s. Here’s a code snippet that was part of an ECB action that will allow you to do this:

using (SPWeb web = SPContext.Current.Web) {
  DateTime dtToday = DateTime.Now;
  DateTime regionDate = web.RegionalSettings.TimeZone.UTCToLocalTime(dtToday);
  DateTime completedDate = Convert.ToDateTime(SPUtility.FormatDate(web, regionDate,
    SPDateFormat.ISO8601));
}
