Use the TimeZoneInfo class found in System.Core;

You must set the DateTimeKindto DateTimeKind.Utc for this.

C#

DateTime MyTime = new DateTime(1990, 12, 02, 19, 31, 30, DateTimeKind.Utc);

DateTime MyTimeInWesternEurope = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeBySystemTimeZoneId(MyTime, "W. Europe Standard Time");

Please refer: Converting Times Between Time Zones[^]

If you want to use GMT as reference for time or you want to use relative time then parhaps the easiest and efficient way to do it us using DateTimeOffset. Bit to use this you will be needing framework version 4.0 atleast.
