Asp.NET Core User Computer Time

Question

Hello,

I want to get the user's computer time on the controller side in an asp.net core web project. How can I do that.

Answer 1

you use javascript to add the date to a form post.

if the controller action is a form post, add a hidden field and set it value with javascript:

document.getElementById("fieldId).value = (new Date()).toISOString();

if the controller action is a get, render a sniffer html page that has a small form with the data required, the snippet above and does a:

document.getElementsByTagName[0].submit();

note: you could also use javascript to get the timezone.

Answer 2

Hi,

Can we get the date on the user's computer this way using Javascript?

Is this the right way to do this?

Answer 3

In JavaScript, in order to get the current timestamp, you can use Date. now()
