Convert UTC DateTime to another Time Zone

问题

I have a UTC DateTime value coming from a database record. I also have a user-specified time zone (an instance of TimeZoneInfo). How do I convert that UTC DateTime to the user's local time zone? Also, how do I determine if the user-specified time zone is currently observing DST? I'm using .NET 3.5.

Thanks, Mark

Have a look at the DateTimeOffset structure:

// user-specified time zone
TimeZoneInfo southPole =
    TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("Antarctica/South Pole Standard Time");

// an UTC DateTime
DateTime utcTime = new DateTime(2007, 07, 12, 06, 32, 00, DateTimeKind.Utc);

// DateTime with offset
DateTimeOffset dateAndOffset =
    new DateTimeOffset(utcTime, southPole.GetUtcOffset(utcTime));

Console.WriteLine(dateAndOffset);

For DST see the TimeZoneInfo.IsDaylightSavingTime method.

bool isDst = southpole.IsDaylightSavingTime(DateTime.UtcNow);

The best way to do this is simply to use TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc.

// you said you had these already
DateTime utc = new DateTime(2014, 6, 4, 12, 34, 0);
TimeZoneInfo tzi = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("Pacific Standard Time");

// it's a simple one-liner
DateTime pacific = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(utc, tzi);

The only catch is that the incoming DateTime value may not have the DateTimeKind.Local kind. It must either be Utc, or Unspecified.

You can use a dedicated function within TimeZoneInfo if you want to convert a DateTimeOffset into another DateTimeOffset:

DateTimeOffset newTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime(
    DateTimeOffset.UtcNow, 
    TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("Eastern Standard Time")
);

The Antartica answer only works for the timezones matching UTC. I'm quite traumatized with this DateTimeOffset function and after hours of trial and error, I've managed to produce a practical conversion extension function that works with all timezones.

static public class DateTimeFunctions
{
    static public DateTimeOffset ConvertUtcTimeToTimeZone(this DateTime dateTime, string toTimeZoneDesc)
    {
        if (dateTime.Kind != DateTimeKind.Utc) throw new Exception("dateTime needs to have Kind property set to Utc");
        var toUtcOffset = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById(toTimeZoneDesc).GetUtcOffset(dateTime);
        var convertedTime = DateTime.SpecifyKind(dateTime.Add(toUtcOffset), DateTimeKind.Unspecified);
        return new DateTimeOffset(convertedTime, toUtcOffset);
    }
}

Example:

var currentTimeInPacificTime = DateTime.UtcNow.ConvertUtcTimeToTimeZone("Pacific Standard Time");

       //  TO get Currrent Time in current Time Zone of your System

        var dt = DateTime.Now;

        Console.WriteLine(dt);

        // Display Time Zone of your System

        Console.WriteLine(TimeZoneInfo.Local);

        // Convert Current Date Time to UTC Date Time

        var utc = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeToUtc(dt, TimeZoneInfo.Local);

        Console.WriteLine(utc);

        // Convert UTC Time to Current Time Zone

        DateTime pacific = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(utc, TimeZoneInfo.Local);

        Console.WriteLine(pacific);

        Console.ReadLine();
