Please note that it is important to consider the value of this parameter in your connections and the corresponding settings of the Zoho Books. In many cases Zoho Books may display different values than set or returned via dotConnect for Zoho Books because of different time zone settings in your SqlShimConnection and in Zoho Books. For example, if you set UtcDates to true, and Zoho Books 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 Zoho Books as a UTC value. When displaying this value in the Zoho Books interface, Zoho Books 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 Zoho Books is configured to display datetime values in your local time, the date values returned via dotConnect for Zoho Books may differ from the values, displayed by Zoho Books. This happens because in this example Zoho Books convertsthe values to your local time when displaying them, and dotConnect for Zoho Books doesn't.
