My application page may be long time without reloading, and user changed system date and time. And I need to know datetime from server, not from client.

I can insert new item to the event list, and take its Created value. But may be there clear solution? – user7268 Jun 6 '12 at 13:46
That would work, created by is generated by SharePoint and won't change. I guess it depends on how you need to use it. Developing a web service to do tht might be unnedded overhead/extra managed code to maintain. – PirateEric Jun 6 '12 at 14:38

You could just create a custom webservice that returns the server time and call this through JS.
