Interesting. I think I found a potentail bug with the DateTime.Now API found in WP7.
Last weekend we advanced our clocks one hour due to Daylight Savings Time (DST) ("Spring ahead, fall back"). Well tonight, I was playing with another blog, and started playing around with the DateTime.Now in a TextBlock, but interestingly, the times didn't match my Windows 7 time (arrows on the right). Odd, the times are exactly one hour off.....hhhhhmmmm DST bug maybe?
What's interesting is that DateTime.Now API has been around for a while now (MSDN Link) and it's a pretty simple thing to do, so maybe this is simply an oversight?
If it is indeed a bug, I doubt it'll last for very long! And if that's the case, then maybe Microsoft will contact me so I can do one of those "WP7 was my idea!" commercials? Ok, ok, so maybe not, but you can't blame a geek for trying?! LOL
Now that's out in the open, it's time to grab a coffee and get coding.
UPDATE 03-18-2010: This is indeed a bug and was confirmed by Danny Chen and Abhinaba Basu from MSFT. Very cool! They know about it now, and I'm sure they'll have a fix out fast (hopefully before the Leafs win their next Stanely Cup? DOH! LOL).
