Converting .NET 2.0 DateTime.ToString () to a different timezone

Is there a format in the ToString () DateTime method to convert the timezone to say UTC?

I know I can programmatically convert DateTime to UTC first and then call ToString, but I have a UI where the user can specify the format, can they convert to UTC at the same time?

.ToString ("u") will be formatted as UTC, but not converted. This code below converts and represents date and time in UTC format:

System.TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.ToUniversalTime(Date.Now).ToString("u")

or



DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime().ToString("u")

other formats can be found here

Not built in, but you can create your own formatter ( google IFormatProvider )

No, you first need to convert the DateTime to your required timezone.
