This is works on .net 4.0, In TimeZoneInfo class doesn't have a FindSytemTimeZone method in metro style apps. So how to do this in metro style apps...

string ZoneId = "Central America";
DateTime localtime = DateTime.Now;
TimeZoneInfo timeZoneInfo = System.TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById(ZoneId);
DateTime dataTimeByZoneId = System.TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime(localtime, System.TimeZoneInfo.Local, timeZoneInfo);
return dataTimeByZoneId;
