Calculating daylight saving time from only date

Question

I am working with an Arduino and a real time clock chip. The chip compensates for leap years and such, so it will always have the correct date, but it does not handle daylight s

Answer 1

Code for Central Europe (tested for every day in range 2014-3000 year)

    public static bool IsDst(int day, int month, int dow)
    {
        if (month < 3 || month > 10)  return false; 
        if (month > 3 && month < 10)  return true; 

        int previousSunday = day - dow;

        if (month == 3) return previousSunday >= 25;
        if (month == 10) return previousSunday < 25;

        return false; // this line never gonna happend
    }

Test function

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        TimeZoneInfo tzf2 = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("Central Europe Standard Time");

        var date = new DateTime(2014, 01, 1, 5, 0,0);
        bool wasSummer = false;

        while (date <= new DateTime(3000,1,1))
        {                                         
            var dow = (int) date.DayOfWeek;

            var isDst = IsDst(date.Day, date.Month, dow);               

            DateTime f2 = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime(date, tzf2);
            var isSummer = f2.IsDaylightSavingTime();

            if (isSummer != isDst)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("ERROR");
                Console.WriteLine(date);
            }

            if (isSummer != wasSummer)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(date.AddDays(-1).ToShortDateString());
            }

            date = date.AddDays(1);
            wasSummer = isSummer;
        }

        Console.ReadKey();

}
