Correct Way of Using IsDaylightSavingTime()
Correct Way of Using IsDaylightSavingTime()

Hi, Thank you for reading my question
I notice that between March and November , the time is different by an hour , that totally mess up my indicator where i rely on MarketSeries.OpenTime.LastValue.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes, (on 2Hour Time Frame)
I tried this :
private double Total_Minutes;
public override void Calculate(int index)
{
Total_Minutes = MarketSeries.OpenTime.LastValue.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes;
if (MarketSeries.OpenTime.LastValue.IsDaylightSavingTime())
Total_Minutes = MarketSeries.OpenTime.LastValue.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes - 60;
ChartObjects.DrawText(index.ToString(), Total_Minutes.ToString(), index, MarketSeries.Low[index], VerticalAlignment.Bottom, HorizontalAlignment.Center);
}
but it somehow doesnt work . I realize that there are a few ways to use IsDayLightSavingTime() , eg Server.Time.IsDaylightSavingTime() , and i wonder have i used it incorrectly 
Thank you very much

I find a way that seems to work but not knowing if thats the right way ...
Minutes_In_Day = MarketSeries.OpenTime.LastValue.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes;
DateTime TZI = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime(MarketSeries.OpenTime.LastValue, TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("Eastern Standard Time"));
if (TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("Eastern Standard Time").IsDaylightSavingTime(TZI))
Minutes_In_Day = MarketSeries.OpenTime.LastValue.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes - 60;
Thank you very much for reading my question and if provides a solution ....
