Thanks for the quick response, Stephen. The issue is that I don't want to
query any particular date field of DateTime but rather I essentially want to
create a unix time value that represents the fields. Let me ask in a
different way:
Current time in Australia is 2008-6-30 14:05:00. The unix time value for
this is 1214834700. I want to know the current unix time value in Los
Angeles.
Of course I'd like a generalized solution:
int unixTimeSomewhereElse(int localUnixTime, DateTimeZone localTimeZone,
DateTimeZone targetTimeZone)
{
???
}
