Subject: Local time and Server Time
I have a problem with time. So let see the scenario below:

- When i sent a message i used to local time (DateTime.Now). For example : 19:02:12 (hh:mm:ss)
- Then I get offline message from server. The above message time is different. (19:02:10) (hh:mm:ss)

My question: How to synchronize local time and server time. May i get server time by matrix?

Thanks

the server stamps the message with the time when it gets stored offline.
There is no xmpp extension to get the server time.

What is your exact use case for this?
Does this 2 seconds cause any problems?

The case:

I sent two message to my friend.
Then i go to offline (close connection to xmpp server).
Then i go to online and get messages offline
So that offline messages' time are less then two messages i have sent before.

===> My case is message order, because my message list is sorted by message time. So two seconds make me wrong message order.

Thanks for reply soon :)

I don't think that you can go offline and online again within 2 seconds ;-)

A XMPP server must sent all messages in the correct order. So you don't have to order the incoming offline messages.
When your client time is wrong then there is nothing which you can do. The same applies to an email client or other clients.

You either have to accept or, or write your own extensions for a time sync.
