Change timezone in C#

Question

I have a date format, something similar to:

Mon, Sun, 22 Aug 2010 12:38:33 GMT

How do I convert this to EST format?

Note: I know it can be achieved using TimeZoneinfo, but that is introduced in 3.5, i want to do it 2.0 or any old version.

Answer 1

I guess you have to go the old road of understanding timezones. Your example is though pretty easy.

GMT is UTC with daylight saving changes.
EST is UTC -5hrs with daylight saving changes.

So you just have to substract 5 hours to get the time in EST.
