Get Local TimeZoneInfo

Question

I am using C#. I need to get the local time zone info for the person running a web application.

I was wondering if:

TimeZoneInfo tzinfo = TimeZoneInfo.Local; TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(result.DueDate.Value, tzinfo); 

is appropriate. Again depending on what time zone the person running the application is, I would like that to be reflected.

Answer 1

yes you are right, this is what you should use. Alternative can be

TimeZone localZone = TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone; 

but the CurrentTimeZone property corresponds to the TimeZoneInfo.Local property so no difference really.

it displays the names for standard time and daylight saving time for the local time zone.
