Problem statement
- Calendar time vs instantaneous time: Stackoverflow
The TimezoneInfo class and most important methods
- ConvertTimeToUtc(DateTime dateTime, TimeZoneInfo sourceTimeZone)
- DateTime ConvertTimeFromUtc( DateTime dateTime, TimeZoneInfo destinationTimeZone)
- Fallacy of DateTime.ToUniversalTime(): GIST
Using DateTimeOffset to encapsulate both the date/time and the UTC offset of the timezone in question
Write tests to ensure your conversions of date time from and to UTC work as expected, and run the tests with host set to different time zones. (a host running in Sydney timezone vs a host running in UTC)
