  Convert timezone based on offset and not name

  Jul 23, 2011 04:12 AM|LINK

  currently i am been using following menthod to convert from one time zone to another

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

  Is there a way that i can pass the offset value diretly to timezoneinfo e.g +05:30 for India instead of passing the name.

  Sql Server 2012
