.NET DateTime Webservices UTC

With .NET 1.1 when we receive a UTC DateTime in a SOAP response from a Webservice it used to get converted to local time.

With .NET 2.0 when we receive a UTC DateTime in a SOAP response it stays in UTC.

If you need it in local time make sure to call .ToLocalTime().

Edit: P.S. Have a look at this neat class in the framework: XmlConvert.
