Bug in TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.IsDaylightSavingTime RRS feed

    I believe that I have found a boundary error bug in the TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.IsDaylightSavingTime method.

    In the middle of the day on November 1, 2020, a call to TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.IsDaylightSavingTime returns "True" even though DST ended at 2am on that date, & the correct value is "False".

    The following code returns the wrong value:        

               If TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.IsDaylightSavingTime(DateTime.Now.Date) Then
                    Return TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.DaylightName
                Else
                    Return TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.StandardName
                End If

    However, the following code returns the correct value:

                Dim dlt As DaylightTime = TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.GetDaylightChanges(Now.Year)
                If Now > dlt.Start And Now < dlt.End Then
                    Return TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.DaylightName
                Else
                    Return TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.StandardName
                End If
