I want to find the difference between the current local time and system time (consider system's time is 5 min ahead of actual local time).

I am fetching data from a server machine(located at PST timezone) and in my project, time is important factor and the code will be deployed on a server machine (PST). Now my problem is that the server's time is 5 minutes ahead of the actual PST Time. I want to get that difference programatically.

How is the time "5 min ahead"? That doesn't sound like a TZ issue. – user2864740 Jul 26 '14 at 08:30

Sounds like you need to set up an NTP client, Windows has one built in. – Brunis Jul 26 '14 at 08:32

Take a look at this discussion, maybe it could help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1193955/how-to-query-an-ntp-server-using-c – Ilya Luzyanin Jul 26 '14 at 08:35
@Brunis probably he hasn't the rights to change the time? – marsh-wiggle Jul 26 '14 at 08:44
What format are you fetching the time in? – merlin2011 Jul 26 '14 at 08:53
My next question is where is his effort at attempting to calculate the TZ difference? We don't even know the language he is using? This lacks effort. – Brunis Jul 26 '14 at 08:54
I am fetching and saving time in UTC format and i doesn't have permission to change time – Raj Kamuni Jul 28 '14 at 07:10
