NET: Convert DateTime from One TimeZone to Another

To calculate the date and time in Arizona -- or anywhere -- from any machine around the world, the following code is what you want. For other time zones, replace US Mountain Standard Time with the corresponding Time Zone ID value from the table below.

C#Code: TimeZoneInfotimeZoneInfo; DateTimedateTime; //SetthetimezoneinformationtoUSMountainStandardTime timeZoneInfo=TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("USMountainStandardTime"); //GetdateandtimeinUSMountainStandardTime dateTime=TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime(DateTime.Now,timeZoneInfo); //Printoutthedateandtime Console.WriteLine(dateTime.ToString("yyyyMMddHHmmss")); VB.NetCode
Dim timeZoneInfo__1 As TimeZoneInfo Dim dateTime__2 As DateTime 'Set the time zone information to US Mountain Standard Time timeZoneInfo__1 = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("US Mountain Standard Time") 'Get date and time in US Mountain Standard Time dateTime__2 = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime(DateTime.Now, timeZoneInfo__1) 'Print out the date and time Console.WriteLine(dateTime__2.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH-mm-ss"))

Beautiful! I did, however, find an easier way. You could also simply write: Console.WriteLine (TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeBySystemTimeZoneId (now, "US Mountain Standard Time").ToString ("yyyy-MM-dd HHmm-ss")); which does it all in one hit. ConvertTimeBySystemTimeZoneId takes a time and a zone and returns a datetime. Pretty spiffy, huh?
