(YATQ) Yet Another time Question

[maasdoel]

I am in TZ +2 (Bravo)

StartTime gets set in Activity_Create within a FirstTime only section

StartTime=DateTime.Now

The following lines of code produces an 2Hr+x interval

Sub Timer1_tick()
lblTime.Text=DateTime.time(DateTime.now)
lblInterval.Text=DateTime.Time(DateTime.Now-StartTime)
End Sub

This second set produces the correct interval

lblTime.Text=DateTime.time(DateTime.now)
lblInterval.Text=DateTime.Time((DateTime.Now- StartTime)-(DateTime.GetTimeZoneOffsetAt(DateTime.Now)*DateTime.TicksPerHour))

Seems odd that my T.Zone is used correctly with lblTime1 but not with lblInterval

You should use the new DateUtils module to calculate the period between two dates.
