Get Indian Standard Time(IST) in c#?

Question

When i display my system date using DateTime.Now() function It gives me system date and time and works fine but when i try to run this page on my server it gives me the DateTime of Server which is outside India But i want to pick up the time of India whenever this page is executed on server. I know it is possible through Culture Info Class... Any suggestion....

Put:

private static TimeZoneInfo INDIAN_ZONE = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("India Standard Time");

as a field.

Then, use:

DateTime indianTime =  TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(DateTime.UtcNow, INDIAN_ZONE);

to get the time as needed.
