Current Universal time in classic asp

How can I get the current time as Universal time in classic asp. I know how to get in C# and I am getting the universal time in c# with following line ((DateTime.Now).ToUniversalTime()).ToString("s") and this code gives me time like this 2012-07-09T10:29:49

But I want to know the equivalent in classic asp. Thanks

Solution

  • According to u229.no, there isn't any built-in way in VBScript to convert to UTC.

    Take a look at the code the author provided below which uses JScript, and how you can call this from VBScript.

    The GetServerGMT routine will return something like: Wed, 01 Feb 2006 15:21:59 UTC.

    Function GetServerGMT()

    // Use JScript to get the current GMT time stamp and store it in Session("ServerGMT")
    Server.Execute "GetServerGMT.asp"
    GetServerGMT = Session("ServerGMT")

End Function

    And this is how the GetServerGMT.asp file with the jscript code looks like:

    <%@language="jscript"%>
<%
    var od = new Date();
    var nd = od.toUTCString();
    Session("ServerGMT") = nd;
%>

    There are other jscript methods that you can use as well.
