DateTime.UtcNow (with TimeZone) working differently on java and .NET

Elements Oxygene

Consider the code:

uses  RemObjects.Elements.RTL;
...
 writeLn(DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd+HH:mm", TimeZone.Local));

When run at about the same time, this code produces:

on java: 2018-09-23+10:25

on .NET: 2018-09-23+08:25

Please notice a two-hour difference. The right local time on my computer is the java’s one. I am in UTC+1 with DST on.

Bug or my bad?

By definition a bug, if the data doesn’t match. Looking at the code, it seems that the .NET version of ToString just doesn’t take into account the timezone parameter at all. that’s bad :(.
