Convert UTC to IST using C#

Question

I have tried to convert a Specific UTC time into IST time. But, I got the same date as the output.

// utcdate is 6/15/2014 12:00:00 AM

Answer 1

Try This:

DateTime utcdate = DateTime.ParseExact("6/15/2014 12:00:00 AM", "M/dd/yyyy 
                                       h:mm:ss tt",CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
var istdate = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(utcdate,
TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("India Standard Time"));

I'm getting output :

6/15/2014 5:30:00 AM
