Time Zone Offset

The emulator uses its own date / time settings. You can change it in the settings menu (Home screen - Menu - Settings).

Sub GetTimeZoneOffset
    Dim S, d As String
    Dim l1 As Long
    S = DateTime.DateFormat
    DateTime.DateFormat = "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss"
    L = DateTime.Now
    d = DateTime.Date(L) & " GMT"
    DateTime.DateFormat = "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss z"
    Dim res As Int
    res = -Round((L - DateTime.DateParse(d))/3600000)
    DateTime.DateFormat = S
    Return res
End Sub

Even if the displayed time is correct, it is possible that the offset is not correct.
You should check the settings.

You should use DateTime.TimeZoneOffset instead.

Seems like an emulator issue, though I cannot reproduce it here.
