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[^]

Yes they are the same, but the confusion occurs because of daylight savings which is country based and unfortunately for the UK conflicts.

Richard MacCutchan 25-Jul-12 4:18am

I don't understand what you mean. UTC and GMT are the same and have nothing to do with daylight saving.

Richard I think he meant by difference in a sense that both are different measures to calculate time...

Richard MacCutchan 25-Jul-12 8:36am

No, they are not, they are exactly the same.

UTC takes care of standard time issues and thus that is used most of times and is present in most of the places.

In case you want to have for defined zone, what about trying something like:

C#

TimeZoneInfo tz = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("Pacific Standard Time");  
Console.WriteLine(TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeToUtc(date1, tz));

Richard MacCutchan 25-Jul-12 4:21am

No, see my comment, UTC and GMT are always the same, the standard universal time from which all local times are derived.
