utc and client offset

[smpa01]

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
