Hello Members,

Check this. TimeZone curTimeZone = TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone; Console.WriteLine( string .Format( "{0:MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm tt}-{1}" , DateTime.Now, curTimeZone.StandardName)); TimeZoneInfo India_Standard_Time = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById( "India Standard Time" ); DateTime dateTime_Indian = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(DateTime.UtcNow, India_Standard_Time); Console.WriteLine( "In IST- " + dateTime_Indian.ToString( "MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm tt" ));

Hey, IST means India Standard Time and I think you are getting time in Indian Standard Time. So what's the problem? Try this for IST TimeZoneInfo India_Standard_Time = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById( "India Standard Time" ); DateTime dateTime_Indian = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(DateTime.UtcNow, India_Standard_Time); Console.WriteLine( "In IST- " + dateTime_Indian);

What is your date time format ?

It needs to show IST in short format... But it is showing Indian standard time. public static String GetTimestamp(DateTime value) { TimeZone curTimeZone = TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone; return string.Format("{0:MMM-dd-yyyy hh:mm tt}-{1}", value, curTimeZone.StandardName); TimeZoneInfo India_Standard_Time = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("India Standard Time"); DateTime dateTime_Indian = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(DateTime.UtcNow, India_Standard_Time); Console.WriteLine("In IST- " + dateTime_Indian); }
