Get DateTime For Another Time Zone Regardless of Local Time Zone

In .NET 3.5, there is TimeZoneInfo, which provides a lot of functionality in this area; 2.0SP1 has DateTimeOffset, but this is much more limited.

Getting UtcNow and adding a fixed offset is part of the job, but isn’t DST-aware.

So in 3.5 I think you can do something like:

DateTime eastern = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeBySystemTimeZoneId(
    DateTime.UtcNow, "Eastern Standard Time");

But this simply doesn’t exist in 2.0; sorry.
