.NET timezone handling guidance for C# applications. Use when working with TimeZoneInfo, DateTimeOffset, NodaTime, UTC conversion, daylight saving time, scheduling across timezones, cross-platform Windows/IANA timezone IDs, or when a .NET user needs the timezone for a city, address, region, or country and copy-paste-ready C# code.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# .NET Timezone

Resolve timezone questions for .NET and C# code with production-safe guidance and copy-paste-ready snippets.

## Start With The Right Path

Identify the request type first:

- Address or location lookup
- Timezone ID lookup
- UTC/local conversion
- Cross-platform timezone compatibility
- Scheduling or DST handling
- API or persistence design

If the library is unclear, default to `TimeZoneConverter` for cross-platform work. If the scenario involves recurring schedules or strict DST rules, prefer `NodaTime`.

## Resolve Addresses And Locations

If the user provides an address, city, region, country, or document containing place names:

1. Extract each location from the input.
2. Read `references/timezone-index.md` for common Windows and IANA mappings.
3. If the exact location is not listed, infer the correct IANA zone from geography, then map it to the Windows ID.
4. Return both IDs and a ready-to-use C# example.

For each resolved location, provide:

```text
Location: <resolved place>
Windows ID: <windows id>
IANA ID: <iana id>
UTC offset: <standard offset and DST offset when relevant>
DST: <yes/no>
```

Then include a cross-platform snippet like:

```csharp
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add github/awesome-copilot/dotnet-timezone@sha256:9514bd6f6e227171

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260323.b3de201, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
