UTCNow ot returning a value

I am using asp.net mvc2 and cannot get the following to return a value from the discountasp.net server even though it works ok on my local laptop.

return DateTime.UtcNow.Hour.ToString();

can anyone give me an idea why it does not return a value?

 

Thanks Bruce,

The guys at Stack overflow helped me find out my schoolboy error.

That the hosted server does not actually compile the application, I need only to upload the dll for any source code, not the actual files.

Thanks for the help
