C Sharp Time Zone Conversion

Question

I'm reading a datafeed from Betfair.

The Timezone field is in UKT timezone.

I am in London timezone which is one hour different.

How can I convert the time to the new timezone?

I want a solution more elegant than merely adding an hour to the feed timezone as that method will fail if the timezone changes, or when the clocks change in winter.

Answer 1

DateTime timeUtc = DateTime.UtcNow;

try

{

   TimeZoneInfo cstZone = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("Cen... Standard Time");

   DateTime cstTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(timeUtc, cstZone);

   Console.WriteLine("The date and time are {0} {1}.",

                     cstTime,

                     cstZone.IsDaylightSavingTime(cstTime) ?

                             cstZone.DaylightName : cstZone.StandardName);

}

catch (TimeZoneNotFoundException)

{

   Console.WriteLine("The registry does not define the Central Standard Time zone.");

}                          

catch (InvalidTimeZoneException)

{

   Console.WriteLine("Registry data on the Central STandard Time zone has been corrupted.");

}
