Hello,

I put in test code to verify the issue.  I created a method:

        private void ShowTimes()
        {
            System.Text.StringBuilder builder = new
System.Text.StringBuilder();
            builder.AppendLine(string.Format("Local Time is:
{0}",DateTime.Now));
            builder.AppendLine(string.Format("GMT Time is: {0}",
DateTime.UtcNow));
            Alerts.ShowAlert("Time Test",builder.ToString());
            builder = null;
        }

Run an app and call ShowTimes which will display local and GMT.  Tap the Home
Button to suspend the app.  Go to the iPhone settings/general/date & time and
turn off the automatic timezone feature and change the timezone such as to Los
Angeles.

Run the app again and call ShowTimes again.  notice how the original timezone
is retained in the System.DateTime call?

How do I resolve this?

Thank you.
