I have a a strange problem with the behaviour of a date field in CRM. On a custom entity I have a from date field. I am only interested in the date part of this. So if someone enters 24/8/2013 my background code will start processing a set of actions from Saturday 24/8.
At the client the value of this field is 00:00 24/8/2013 but by the time it is picked up in the background code on the server the value has become 23:00 23/8/2013 and the system processes all actions from the previous Friday. My initial thought was that microsft were doing something stupid with time zones but all the systems on my network are set to use GMT with no daylight savings time and they all synchronise to a single parent clock.
So why can microsoft CRM not tell the time?
