Public Function ConvertFromServerToLocalTZ(ByVal TheDate As Date) As Date

Description

This property converts a date/time value from the server time zone to the local time zone. The local time zone is the time zone of the FCSession (FCSession.LocalTimeZone), and the server time zone is the server time zone of the FCApplication (FCApplication.ServerTimeZone). It uses the time_zone table date to determine offsets from GMT, and it uses the daylight_hr table to determine if the timestamp is on daylight savings time (DST) in either time zone.
