How to Retrieve the TimeZone Programatically in Windows Phone
If you want to retreive this information (Timezone) , you can use the TimeZoneInfo.Local property that is defined in the System.Security NameSpace.
TimeZoneInfo.Local includes the properties StandardName and DisplayName to display the time zone.
txtTimeZone.Text = TimeZoneInfo.Local.StandardName;
The StandardName will display the complete text like “UTC +05:30 Chennai,Kolkatta,Mumbai,New Delhi”
txtTimeZone.Text = TimeZoneInfo.Local.DisplayName;
The DisplayName will in turn display the Zone Name like “India Standard Time”.
