Question

I get some datetime (ExactDate) from a db. These time are in US timezone, I need to convert them in EU TimeZone.

However if I use :

           ExactDate = (DateTime)dr["CREATE_DATE"];

           // change exact date to european time
           TimeZoneInfo info;
           info = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("US Mountain Standard Time");
           ExactDate = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime(ExactDate,info);

The dates are not converted properly because my computer is seeing the ExactDate as an European date.

Do you know how I can solve this ?

Answer 1

Try converting the date from the other TimeZone to UTC

like

ExactDate = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeToUtc(ExactDate,info);

Once you have the corresponding UTC time you can get the European one later on using .ToLocal

Hope this is what you want.
