FileTimeToLocalFileTime converts a time from UTC time (also known as Greenwich Mean Time) to "local time" (inside the computer's selected time zone). The source and target times are stored in FILETIME structures. The function returns 1 if successful, or 0 if an error occurs.FileTimeToLocalFileTime Converts a UTC file time to a local file time. System.DateTime.ToFileTime FileTimeToLocalFileTime Converts a UTC file time to a local file time. System.DateTime.ToLocalTime

Here's a method that uses this method in conjunction with GetCurrentConsoleFont to return the size of the currently selected console font.

To Run the VistaBridge Project in Visual Studio 2008, you must re-create the Application Manifest file. To do this, open the manifest already in the project, copy all of the text from it to notepad and then delete the manifest file from the project. Next, right click on the "VistaBridgeDemoApp" project and select Add New Item. Choose an Application Manifest File and MAKE SURE you name it as follows: VistaBridgeDemoApp.exe.manifest and then press enter. Now double click on the new manifest file, select all the text and replace it with the text that was copied out of the old manifest. You can now Build the solution and the Demo App should now operate properly. If you still have problems, try closing Visual Studio and then Re-opening it.

I need to use this call to permit the user to browse the network neighborhood and select a specific computer system, and the .Net implementation of the wrapper for this does not seem to support the BIG_BROWSEFORCOMPUTER option! If anyone has figured this out, could they please post the information to this web site and let me know at MAILTO:kendrhyd@sympatico.ca? Thanks.
