Control Binding Manager and .ToLocalTime()

Hi,

I am storing  "DateLastModified" for every record/bo in my system. On the data-entry form, I want to show this date.

Using the CBM, I can choose this property and it shows up on the form. However, I store a UTC date in the database, but would like to display it in local time on the form. I am unclear how to do this, since .ToLocalTime() is a method, not a property of a date.

Is there some way to use either the CBM or via code to make the binding to DateLastModified.ToLocalTime()?

Thanks!

Heather

David,

I assume you mean add something like this to all my BOs:

    /// <summary>
    /// Get the Localized Version of DateLastModified
    /// </summary>
    public DateTime? DateLastModifiedLocal
    {
        get
        {
            if (this.DateLastModified != null)
                return this.DateLastModified.Value.ToLocalTime();
            else
                return null;
        }
    }


That will take a little time, but is certainly do-able.

Thanks!

Heather
