Establecer zona horaria del sistema desde .NET

Question

¿Alguien tiene algún código que tome un campo TimeZoneInfo de .NET y ejecute el código de interoperabilidad para establecer la zona horaria del sistema a través de SetTimeZoneInformation? Me doy cuenta de que básicamente está asignando los miembros de TimeZoneInfo a los miembros de la estructura, pero no me parece obvio cómo los campos se asignarán exactamente o qué debería importarme más allá del sesgo.

Answer 1

No sé si esto es lo que está buscando, pero hay información sobre cómo usar las funciones de Win32 para obtener y establecer la información de zona horaria en

http://www.pinvoke.net/default.aspx/kernel32/ GetTimeZoneInformation.html

La parte principal del siguiente código de muestra se toma de este sitio. Acabo de agregar algunas líneas más para llamar al método GetTimeZone () y solucioné un pequeño error en el modificador de acceso de la estructura SystemTime para hacer que la muestra funcione.

Espero que esto ayude ...

Antes de configurar la información de zona horaria, deberá asegurarse de que el proceso tenga los privilegios adecuados. Como se señaló en la página de MSDN para SetTimeZoneInformation:

  

Una aplicación debe tener el privilegio SE_TIME_ZONE_NAME para esto   Función para tener éxito. Este privilegio está deshabilitado de forma predeterminada.

Aquí hay un código de muestra para habilitar este privilegio:

public class AdjustTokenPrivilegesFunctionality
{
  [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
  private struct LUID
  {
    public uint LowPart;
    public int HighPart;
  }

  [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
  private struct LUID_AND_ATTRIBUTES
  {
    public LUID Luid;
    public UInt32 Attributes;
  }

  private struct TOKEN_PRIVILEGES
  {
    public UInt32 PrivilegeCount;
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst = 1)]
    public LUID_AND_ATTRIBUTES[] Privileges;
  }

  public const string SE_TIME_ZONE_NAME = "SeTimeZonePrivilege";
  public const int TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES = 0x00000020;
  public const int TOKEN_QUERY = 0x00000008;
  public const int SE_PRIVILEGE_ENABLED = 0x00000002;

  [DllImport("advapi32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
  [return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
  private static extern bool AdjustTokenPrivileges(IntPtr TokenHandle, bool DisableAllPrivileges, ref TOKEN_PRIVILEGES NewState, UInt32 Zero, IntPtr Null1, IntPtr Null2);

  [DllImport("advapi32.dll", SetLastError = true, CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
  private static extern int OpenProcessToken(int ProcessHandle, int DesiredAccess, out IntPtr tokenhandle);

  [DllImport("kernel32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
  private static extern int GetCurrentProcess();

  [DllImport("advapi32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
  private static extern int LookupPrivilegeValue(string lpsystemname, string lpname, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Struct)] ref LUID lpLuid);

  static void EnableSetTimeZonePrivileges()
  {
    // We must add the set timezone privilege to the process token or SetTimeZoneInformation will fail
    IntPtr token;
    int retval = OpenProcessToken(GetCurrentProcess(), TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES | TOKEN_QUERY, out token);
    Assert.IsTrue(retval != 0, String.Format("OpenProcessToken failed. GetLastError: {0}", Marshal.GetLastWin32Error()));

    LUID luid = new LUID();
    retval = LookupPrivilegeValue(null, SE_TIME_ZONE_NAME, ref luid);
    Assert.IsTrue(retval != 0, String.Format("LookupPrivilegeValue failed. GetLastError: {0}", Marshal.GetLastWin32Error()));

    TOKEN_PRIVILEGES tokenPrivs = new TOKEN_PRIVILEGES();
    tokenPrivs.PrivilegeCount = 1;
    tokenPrivs.Privileges = new LUID_AND_ATTRIBUTES[1];
    tokenPrivs.Privileges[0].Luid = luid;
    tokenPrivs.Privileges[0].Attributes = SE_PRIVILEGE_ENABLED;
    Assert.IsTrue(AdjustTokenPrivileges(token, false, ref tokenPrivs, 0, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero), String.Format("AdjustTokenPrivileges failed. GetLastError: {0}", Marshal.GetLastWin32Error()));
  }
}

Answer 2

Hay otra forma de hacer esto, que ciertamente es un poco hack, pero funciona bastante bien en la práctica:

public void SetSystemTimeZone(string timeZoneId)
{
    var process = Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo
    {
        FileName = "tzutil.exe",
        Arguments = "/s \"" + timeZoneId + "\"",
        UseShellExecute = false,
        CreateNoWindow = true
    });

    if (process != null)
    {
        process.WaitForExit();
        TimeZoneInfo.ClearCachedData();
    }
}

Simplemente llame a este método y pase el TimeZoneInfo.Id que desea configurar. Por ejemplo:

SetSystemTimeZone("Eastern Standard Time");

No se requieren privilegios especiales para ejecutar este código, ya que tzutil.exe ya tiene los permisos adecuados.

Hay un artículo para hacer esto usando VB en el sitio de soporte de Microsoft:
