C#: Convert any time to time in any timezone

You can use this to convert any server time to india time or any other time zone
here's possible list of all zone IDs which can be used in this method: https://nodatime.org/TimeZones

First add reference to NodaTime nuget package which is built by the ultimate Jon Skeet

Pun intended

/*
1. Jon Skeet can divide by zero.
2. When Jon Skeet's code fails to compile the compiler apologises.
3. If Jon-Skeet's program fails to compile they fix the compiler.
4. Jon Skeet coded his last project entirely in Microsoft Paint, just for the challenge.
5. Jon Skeet keeps a daily backup of the Internet on his USB pendrive.

Jon Skeet handles all my exceptions

try
{
    insert.code.here();
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
  JonSkeet(ex);
}

here's the method

public DateTime ConvertToTimeZoneFromUtc(DateTime utcDateTime, string timezone)
{
    var easternTimeZone = DateTimeZoneProviders.Tzdb[timezone];
    return Instant.FromDateTimeUtc(utcDateTime)
                    .InZone(easternTimeZone)
                    .ToDateTimeUnspecified();
}

usage:

string zoneID = "Asia/Kolkata";
var date = ConvertToTimeZoneFromUtc(DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime(), zoneID);

Many times, we store dates in our database by passing DateTime as a parameter value or by using GETDATE() in SQL Server. In both the cases, the time of the current machine is passed as the value. It is OK in case of Desktop applications however, when we move to Web applications, the current computer is the server where the website/app is hosted. This means if you’re in India and the website is hosted in a server in the US, the time stored in the database will be US time and not your local time. The correct way is to store the time in the local timezone. In this post we will see how to convert a DateTime object into specific TimeZone in C#. To do this, we will use the FindSystemTimeZoneById() of TimeZoneInfo class. This function takes Id as a parameter to return the equivalent time in timezone passed. In the example below, we are taking the current system time and converting it into “Central Standard Time”. DateTime currentTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime(DateTime.Now, TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("Central Standard Time")); Let me know via comments if you are aware of about other ways to perform this action.
