When i display my system date using DateTime.Now() function It gives me system date and time and works fine but when i try to run this page on my server
it gives me the DateTime of Server which is outside India But i want to pick up the time of India whenever this page is executed on server.
I know it is possible through Culture Info Class... Any suggestion....

A:
Put:
private static TimeZoneInfo INDIAN_ZONE = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("India Standard Time");
as a field.
Then, use:
DateTime indianTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(DateTime.UtcNow, INDIAN_ZONE);
to get the time as needed.

@Pandiya: Put `TimeZoneInfo tzi = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("Indian Standard Time");` and then `DateTime indianTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(DateTime.UtcNow,tzi);`

@Pandiya: Apologies for the typo, try "India Standard Time". Just tested it.

Sorry for my typos. Another source had indicated that "Indian Standard Time" was correct.
