Why You Should Use NowUTC Instead of Now in Delphi: A Quick Guide
Monday, July 22, 2024Welcome to another episode of "How It Works with Holger"! Today’s quick tip is about why you should stop using Now for date and time in Delphi and start using NowUTC. Using Now gives you local time, which can be confusing if your app works with users in different time zones. Instead, NowUTC stores time in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which keeps everything consistent no matter where you are. I’ll show you how to use NowUTC in your code and how to convert it back to local time using TTimeZone.Local. This will make handling dates and times in your apps much easier.
