DateTime Values in SQL Express ASPNETDB.MDF

greets again folks,

The values LastLoginDate and LastActivityDate in my SQl Express membership dBase are always off.

The date is usually correct but the time is always hours off.

Is there some way to get the time part of the DateTime to be correct?

Do I have to write code to set the time when the user logs in?

Thanks a mil!

It sounds as if GetUtcDate() is being called instead of GetDate. GetUTCDate records the UTC or GMT date time whereas GetDate() get the local date time.

Kamrul,

Although unlikely, the column does not have to be a DateTime to have GetDate assigned to it. E.g.SELECTCONVERT(VARCHAR(20),GetDate(), 113) returned "19 Apr 2007 17:07:06". but could have inserted the valud into a CHAR(20) column.

The date is OFF in the ASPNETDB itself.

Beoroe I write any code to retireve the values, they are already in the dBase off to begin with.

Is there some way to tell the dBase to record the correct times?

Look in the table definition, do the collumns have the default property change the GetUtcDate() to GetDate(). Do the same in the stored procedures and all date/time from then will be in local rather than universal time.

Incidentally was the time an exact number of hours off from the server time?

I just looked in the table definition for all of the columns which contain datetime date types. I don't see GetUtcDate or GetDate() anywhere in the table definition. Where should these values be displayed?

Hi Hypercode,

Actually,the datetime value is saved as UTC format in system or database. When there's a request from a user, the server will translate the time into local time which depends on the server's location and response the user's request. So pls be sure that the settings of the timezone on your server is correct ( or just as you want).

If the problem still exists, you have to translate the time manually.Here's the UDF that you might be interested in looking into

Hope it helps.
