How to represent the current UK time?

Question

I\'m facing an issue while converting dates between my server and client where both is running in Germany. The Regional settings on the client machines could be set to both

I realize the question is for C#, but if all you want to do is a single conversion you can do this from the PowerShell command line:

$d = [DateTime]::Parse("04/02/2014 17:00:00")
$gmt = [TimeZoneInfo]::FindSystemTimeZoneById("GMT Standard Time");
[TimeZoneInfo]::ConvertTime($d, $gmt, [TimeZoneInfo]::Local)

This script would convert 17:00 UK time into your local time zone. For me, that would be CST. It's interesting to note that if I had set the date to 03/27/2014, the result would be different because the UK daylight saving time kicks in on different dates that the US.
