Time Zone Class for .Net 1.1

Thanks to a configuration required for a customer at work, I had some fun attempting to track down a .Net 1.1 version for Time Zones. Ya know, those things that drive our life that Microsoft some how explicitly left out of the .Net 1.1 framework.

At any rate, I finally got some help from Kulrom at VBCity.com and put together the following piece of code, hope it helps someone.

Essentially when you call GetTimeZones it populates a combo box with all the timezones listed in the registry as well as populating a collection which holds this information to be used later. It's all rather pretty. The funcationality not necessarily the code.

Well, enjoy!
The code is in my post in the thread mentioned earlier at VBCity.com

New Computer

So, I finally did I broke down a bought a new computer. It's not a fantastic computer like many people would want but it's much to fast for me to handle.

Currently, I have a multi-boot sitatution on my hands. I'm running Win XP Pro x86, XP Pro x64, XP Vista Ultimate x86 and Win 7 Beta 7k. XP Pro x64 is what I'm working on as we speak... It's exciting, finally can put the full 8 GB of ram to good use for vertual machines. I'm planning on adding a Linux install, but I haven't decided which, hence the need to run the virtual machines... Well, that and I want to write applications to run in both x86 and x64.

Well, the specs of my machine are as follows:

• Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83 GHZ
• Asus P5Q Pro mobo, which I think I should've gone with a different one, but I'm not a hard core gamer, so no worries.
• 4X2 GB (maximum for mobo, 1 reason to get a different one) Corsair DDR2 1066 (Mobo can support 1200, but I'm semi-cheap)
• 3X 500 GB Western Digital Caviar Black in a Raid 5 and Raid 0 spec thanks to the wonders of the Intel Matrix.
• A 1GB Sapphire Radeon HD4850.
• A Corsair 620 W PSU, will have to upgrade to an 850 to be on the safe side when I get all 8 disks (far future, after school before I have another Raid 5)
  
• And a lowly cheap ass dvd burner that was $27. :-)
• All stuffed into a Lian Li case.
  

Let me just toot my horn, I like it. Can buy the same thing for $300-$400 less, but I'm content. :-)
