If you want to retreive this information (Timezone) , you can use the TimeZoneInfo.Local property that is defined in the System.Security NameSpace .

TimeZoneInfo.Local includes the properties StandardName and DisplayName to display the time zone.

txtTimeZone.Text = TimeZoneInfo.Local.StandardName;

The StandardName will display the complete text like “UTC +05:30 Chennai,Kolkatta,Mumbai,New Delhi”

txtTimeZone.Text = TimeZoneInfo.Local.DisplayName;

The DisplayName will inturn display the Zone Name like “India Standard Time”

    Hi Senthil,
    Do you know if I can set the application’s time zone? I have a server-client application and want to use the server’s time zone. Converting all date’s from one to another creates additional code. Application is intended to use only server’s time zone.
