i have to show data of "Date_Time" according to user standard time
suppose if any user login to India

it should show " Date_Time " according to their standard
as Data Store In Database on " 10-Jan-2012 4:29 "
but there are half hour difference between Pakistan and
India

so it should be showed
" 10-Jan-2010 4:59 " for Indian User Instead of this " 10-Jan-2010 4:29"
as Pakistani User Login so it should show this

" 10-Jan-2010 4:29 " and so on for others user

Here's some sample code I've managed to figure out for converting India to Pakistan Standard Time:

TimeZoneInfo zone1 = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("India Standard Time");
TimeZoneInfo zone2 = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("Pakistan Standard Time");
DateTime dt1 = DateTime.Parse("10-Jan-2010 4:59");
DateTime dt2 = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime(dt1, zone1, zone2); // 10-Jan-2010 4:29

If you have some way of figuring out what time zone the user is in, then you can use the TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime() method to do the conversion :
