Jonathan Birkholz: London Time?

A friend ping’d me on gchat and asked if he had a DateTime object with our time in Texas, how could he get the time in London.

I quickly threw together this example on how I would do it.

DateTime time = DateTime.Now;

TimeZoneInfo londonTimeZone = TimeZoneInfo
    .GetSystemTimeZones()
    .FirstOrDefault(t => t.DisplayName.Contains("London"));

DateTime londonTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime(time, londonTimeZone);

Console.WriteLine("Its {0} here", time);
Console.WriteLine("But its {0} in London", londonTime);
Console.WriteLine("Blimey!");
Console.ReadLine();
