Hi,

has anybody of you sample coding to determine if a date is in "daylight saving time" or out "daylight saving time"?

Thanks regards

Hi Mario,

Are you using a Calendar object? Then you can use the following code:

myCalendar.getTimeZone().inDaylightTime(myCalendar.getTime())

In any case, you need to know the timezone of the date, because some timezones have different DST dates.

Please refer to the class <a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/TimeZone.html">java.util.TimeZone</a>.

Best regards,

Daniel
