UTC and Universal Time

Question

In C#, what is the difference between UTC and Universal Time? What are the fuctions available?

Answer 1

No difference. DateTime.UtcNow gives you the current time in UTC. The Timezone class has functions to convert to and from UTC date/time to date/time in any timezone.

Answer 2

I would think they're both the same - according to Wikipedia, UTC is Coordinated *Universal* Time.

.NET supports UTC through a number of function on the DateTime struct. E.g. there is are functions like DateTime.ToUniversalTime (and DateTime.ToLocalTime to convert back, of course) or DateTime.UtcNow available.
