Do any microsoft buildtime dependancies C#/C/c++/VB/TSQL/etc. need to
be updated for the 2007 policy on daylight savings time?
I know the OS needs to be updated but I care now about C libraries,
.net binaries, etc. that microsoft maintains which have coded in them
logic around datetime. e.g. the C# and c++ datetime objects that
microsoft maintains, do these have any logic that needs to be updated
reguardless of the OS being updated? Or is all such functinality 100%
derived off the OS so no library or development or build time tool
updates nessicary?
I can't tell you authoritatively, but my understanding is that time zone
stuff, including daylight saving, is stored in the registry and anything
that needs that information reads it there.
Daylight saving changes are nothing new; they happen around the world all
the time. Australia has changed its rules at least half a dozen times in the
last 20 years. These involved just a registry change, as far as I am aware.
