Daylight Saving and Time zones
Hi guys, I'm wondering what is the best way to store dates from different countries considering daylight saving and its volatility in the future to make a date filter for my app.

Most likely the easiest thing to do would be to store all dates in UTC, then convert to the user's timezone as needed. Getting the user's timezone would be the hardest part
TimeZoneInfo should take care of you

Right, but I thought TimeZoneInfo handles the conversions with DST? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.timezoneinfo?view=net-8.0

But it might also be UTC + tzdata rules. :)
