utc and client offset

‎05-23-2024 08:05 AM

how can I dynamically get the offset between utc and client.

 

The follwoing does not work

 

DateTimeZone.UtcNow()-DateTimeZone.LocalNow())

 

I want this to result in -4 as I am in EST.

 

Thank you in advance.

Some areas are offset by hours and minutes, hence the second line:

= DateTimeZone.ZoneHours(DateTimeZone.FixedLocalNow()) 
+ DateTimeZone.ZoneMinutes(DateTimeZone.FixedLocalNow()) / 60
