How to get client current date and time in asp.net?

Question

I have a hidden field in my master page. And I set the current date and time as a value in that \"hiddenfield\" using Javascript. I am unable to get this hidden field value

Answer 1

I have done this by using following way:

1. I have taken a HiddenField into the previous page where it requires :

2. Then, I am getting browser timezone by this :

   $(document).ready(function () {
        var offset = new Date().getTimezoneOffset();
        $('#hdnTimeOffset').val(offset);
   
    });
   

3. I am getting time zone into a Session variable of the previous page, before redirecting to the next page, like on button click:

   protected void btn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       Session["TimeOffset"] = hdnTimeOffset.Value;
       Response.Redirect("~/Root/abc.aspx");
   }
   

4. In the Main Page, I get the current time by using following code :

   DateTime dtmCurrentDateTime = DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime();
   double dblMinutes =Convert.ToDouble(Session["TimeOffset"].ToString());                
   dtmCurrentDateTime = dtmCurrentDateTime.AddMinutes(-dblMinutes);
