I want to pick Indian DateTime in my website. Locally it's getting correct date, But if I upload it to Server then it is getting different date, Because Server is in USA. So it is getting USA DateTime in text.

Here I want to get Indian DateTime in that textbox. So How Can I fix this problem?

I tried many ways but i din't get.

DateTime.UtcNow.ToUniversalTime().ToShortDateString()
DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime().ToShortDateString()

and some other ways. Please help me to solve this problem.

Thanks in Advance

Ok I added there but I can't see now, because now USA date is same as Indian Date.

Solution 2

I think what you are looking for is something like this.

//use utc time to avoid daylight savings time in us. and use correct number of hours
numberOfHoursToAdd = 7;
private DateTime today = DateTime.Now.AddHours(numberOfHoursToAdd);

Hope this helps.

Edit fixed typo.

try this.

C#

TimeZoneInfo timzoe = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("India Standard Time"); and then 

DateTime indiaTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(DateTime.UtcNow,timzoe);
