Please note that it is important to consider the value of this parameter in your connections and the corresponding settings of the Dynamics CRM. In many cases Dynamics CRM may display different values than set or returned via dotConnect for Dynamics CRM because of different time zone settings in your SqlShimConnection and in Dynamics CRM. For example, if you set UtcDates to true, and Dynamics CRM is configured to display datetime values in your local time, when you specify a datetime value in an INSERT or UPDATE statement, it is treated and sent to Dynamics CRM as a UTC value. When displaying this value in the Dynamics CRM interface, Dynamics CRM converts it to your local time, and thus displays a different value than the one that was specified in the INSERT or UPDATE statement.
The same is correct when selecting data. If UtcDates is set to true, and Dynamics CRM is configured to display datetime values in your local time, the date values returned via dotConnect for Dynamics CRM may differ from the values, displayed by Dynamics CRM. This happens because in this example Dynamics CRM convertsthe values to your local time when displaying them, and dotConnect for Dynamics CRM doesn't.
