Can someone please point me to a complete list of all the timezones referenced by the id expected in TimeZoneInfo.FindTimeZoneById()? I can't find a list anywhere and I've looked through the .NET documentation.

If you notice in the answers below there are several confusingly duplicative time zone ids, you should read here to learn more: https://mcmap.net/q/21112/-quot-us-eastern-standard-time-quot-vs-quot-eastern-standard-time-quot-in-net – Jacksmelt 8/6, 2016 at 14:46

IMPORTANT - This data is not static. New time zones are introduced into Windows as the governments of the world make changes. This is ultimately why there are not authoritative pages listing them in the docs. Do not rely on any hardcoded list, but call TimeZoneInfo.FindTimeZoneById() yourself, or use TZUTIL.EXE /L to list them. The answers below are only but a snapshot of the data at the time they were reported. DO NOT COPY FROM HERE TO HARDCODE INTO YOUR APPLICATION! – Alic 22/11, 2018 at 17:9

If needed, you can read from the registry at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones, or use the EnumDynamicTimeZoneInformation Windows API. – Alic 22/11, 2018 at 17:17

Also, keep in mind that the list of timezones you receive will be drastically different on Unix systems. If you're accepting a time zone ID from a Windows system and trying to find it on a Unix system, it will fail even if both applications are written in C#. – Impeller 15/9, 2020 at 18:59

Here's a full listing of a program and its results.

The code:

using System;

namespace TimeZoneIds
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            foreach (TimeZoneInfo z in TimeZoneInfo.GetSystemTimeZones())
            {
                Console.WriteLine(z.Id);
            }
        }
    }
}

Is the output of this list sensitive to whether you are currently in daylight savings or not? Otherwise, the names seem inaccurate. Eastern Standard Time is GMT - 5 but GMT - 4 most of the year. – Tigrinya 16/12, 2013 at 17:14

Yes, the TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById method is sensitive to daylight savings time... See msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/…. It states: "This TimeZoneInfo object is then used to convert the local time to the time in Tokyo and to determine whether it is Tokyo Standard Time or Tokyo Daylight Time." – Kahler 1/3, 2014 at 10:24

@Tigrinya - You are correct. The ID names are misleading. "Eastern Standard Time" represents both EST and EDT. – Alic 6/11, 2014 at 2:26

@Sebastian- just to avoid confusion, I think your first sentence should read, "No, the output of the program is NOT sensitive to daylight savings time." Regardless of what time of the year you run the program, the list will be the same, which is what JohnOpincar was asking. – Saxon 28/5, 2015 at 18:33

Beware: Timezone names are sensitive to the operating system. Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2012 have different lists. – Soak 30/8, 2016 at 15:25

Although for Razor you can of course just generate the options by looping through TimeZoneInfo.GetSystemTimeZones()

Somnambulate answered 25/6, 2013 at 14:44 Comment(8)

Do you have the code that generates this list ? I wonder how you output the GMT section. – Merengue 23/7, 2014 at 13:7

Not sure what you mean Jeson. I used the code in the accepted answer above to get all the timezone, and then just put together than select options I provided by hand from that list. – Somnambulate 23/7, 2014 at 14:40

Why hardcode the list if you can get it via var allTimeZones = TimeZoneInfo.GetSystemTimeZones(); ??? – Denna 26/2, 2015 at 9:5

Hard coding the list has the potential for leaving out perfectly valid values that are added over time! Not a good idea. – Amyl 20/1, 2016 at 0:46

this seems like a really bad idea to hardcode into the view. prone to human error and a real pain to maintain. – Mariellemariellen 3/2, 2016 at 9:36

It (the .NET code) was added here so it could be cut and pasted thereby minimizing human error. That being said, the solution also suggests looping through TimeZoneInfo.GetSystemTimeZones(). Not sure how often time zones definitions change (and whether such changes are reflected in .NET immediately), so not sure how much 'maintenance' would actually be required. – Somnambulate 3/2, 2016 at 15:3

Beware, the GMT offsets shown here are not constant. They will vary as each of the time zones switch to and from daylight saving. – Rampageous 11/6, 2020 at 20:56

Some suggest it's a bad idea to hardcode a list of timezones, and they are correct most of the time. Now, if I had access to an hardcoded list of defined timezones at the time the binaries I'm working on today were created, I could compare the values and make the appropriate calibrations no matter I'm working on Win7, Win10 or Win24. I just can't. Working with historical geodata sucks man... – Neckpiece 8/8, 2021 at 21:3

Here's the link you're looking for:

C# System timeZoneID's

Scorecard answered 25/7, 2012 at 21:5 Comment(0)

From MSDN

ReadOnlyCollection<TimeZoneInfo> zones = TimeZoneInfo.GetSystemTimeZones();
Console.WriteLine("The local system has the following {0} time zones", zones.Count);
foreach (TimeZoneInfo zone in zones)
   Console.WriteLine(zone.Id);

Konya answered 26/10, 2011 at 20:19 Comment(5)

That isn't a list of them... I don't want to have to go in and programmatically list them any time I want to use them. – Josefjosefa 26/10, 2011 at 20:20

@user976921: This gives you a list of them as defined by your local machine. You could even define custom ones, so I'm not exactly sure how much more comprehensive of a list you could possibly want. – Konya 26/10, 2011 at 20:25

@user976921: run Marc's code, then copy from the output window to a text file. – Eat 26/10, 2011 at 20:25

That will give me a list if I make a program to output them. The thing is I want a list I can quickly reference and not have to keep up with a program just to show them to me every time I want them. I just want a quick reference link I can go to anytime I want and see the full comprehensive list. – Josefjosefa 26/10, 2011 at 20:27

@Konya +1 for linqpad... Never heard of it before but it looks extremely useful! Thanks! – Bernardinebernardo 6/12, 2012 at 16:12

You will find complete list of time zone with its GMToffsets here and you can use "Name of Time Zone" column value to find time zone by ID

e.g

TimeZoneInfo objTimeZoneInfo = TimeZoneInfo.FindTimeZoneById("Dateline Standard Time");

You will get time zone info class that contains dateline standard time time zone which is used for GMT-12:00.

Mcarthur answered 17/12, 2012 at 7:28 Comment(2)

Rather, TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById. – Quill 18/9, 2013 at 9:29

Oddly, on the page referred to a 'here' (msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/…), the list may or may not be complete but is not correct. Check out the entry for problem-child Arizona (U.S.). The entry on the page says "U.S. Mountain Standard Time" but that value causes a TimeZoneNotFoundException if you use it in FindTimeZoneById. If you check the program output above, you see the correct value is "US Mountain Standard Time" (no periods). Looks like the values on the page were 'cleaned up' at some point and can't be trusted. – Parasol 13/6, 2015 at 19:22

I know it's old and old question but Microsoft appears to have provided this through MSDN now.

That list is specific to Windows Embedded Compact 2013. – Alic 26/3 at 16:31

I suspect this is what most people are looking for:

Microsoft Time Zone Index Values

Hopefully MS keeps it up to date even after XP.

Agamic answered 10/3, 2014 at 21:59 Comment(3)

Just a note on this link, for whatever reason, they seem to have published the IDs of the Timezones slightly wrong. For instance, they have U.S. rather than just US – Manicurist 4/4, 2014 at 2:3

There's a column with a numerical index... Anybody know if I can get a timezone by that index somehow instead of relying on the string name? – Varnado 23/7, 2014 at 15:0

Do you know what these 'Time Zone Index' IDs are used for? Do they only apply to Windows XP and before? – Litta 9/2, 2015 at 7:0

Here is the list of Timezone(s) from microsoft

here is the link; support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/973627/… – Torino 16/4, 2020 at 18:26

var timeZoneInfos = TimeZoneInfo.GetSystemTimeZones();

The above gives you a list of timezones, which includes the ids.

DateTime dt;

tzf = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("TimeZone String");
dt = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime(DateTime.Now, tzf);
lbltime.Text = dt.ToString();

This is the code fully tested and working for me. You can use it just copy and paste in your aspx page and cs page.

This is my blog you can download full code here. thanks.

This is for SelectListItem in C# (asp .net)

You can write code in backend:

public static List<SelectListItem> GetTimezoneList()
{
    try
    {
        // list of timezone
        List<SelectListItem> timezoneList = new List<SelectListItem>();

        timezoneList.Add(new SelectListItem() { Value = "", Text = "Select TimeZone...", Selected = false });
                
        var timezoneInfo = TimeZoneInfo.GetSystemTimeZones();
                
        foreach (var item in timezoneInfo)
        {
            timezoneList.Add(new SelectListItem() 
            {
                Value = item.StandardName, Text = item.DisplayName, Selected = false });
            }
            return timezoneList;
        }
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        throw e;
    }
}

And in Front-end side

@Html.DropDownListFor(s => s.TimeZone, YourbackendServiceName.GetTimezoneList(), new { @class = "form-control input-md" })

this will give you all timezone DisplayName ... i.e. India Standard Time in Drop Down List
