  TimeZoneInfo FindSystemTimeZoneById

  Jul 19, 2011 04:10 AM|LINK

  I am using following statement.

  How can i get the list of all the ID's? e.g "India Standard Time" or "UTC" or "Tokyo Standard Time"

  There might be some list of these name right?

  I mean what name do i refer other countries by? or can i pass a offset value also to this? Like +5.5 or so?

  TimeZoneInfo cstZone1 = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("India Standard Time");
                  TimeZoneInfo cstZone2 = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("UTC");
                  DateTime cstTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeBySystemTimeZoneId(currdatee, cstZone1.Id.ToString(), cstZone2.Id.ToString());

  What i plan to do is, create a table of TimeZone in database, based on user timezone, i convert the time into UTC before saving to database and while retriving the time convert from UTC to user timezone.

  Hi bhanu2217,

  How can i get the list of all the ID's? e.g "India Standard Time" or "UTC" or "Tokyo Standard Time"

  There might be some list of these name right?

  The example in MSDN article lists the identifier of each of the time zones defined on the local computer.  please refer:

  hope this helps, thanks.
