How to get UTC equivalent for my local time in C#

Question

My machine is on PDT and if I say DateTime.Now, then I will get a local time which is say equivalent to Sep-18th 2012 6:00:00 AM. I want to get UTC equivalent for this datetime

Answer 1

If you want to convert any date from your time-zone to UTC do this:

TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.ToUniversalTime(myLocalDateTime)

If you want to convert it back from UTC:

TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.ToLocalTime(myUtcDateTime)
