TimeZoneInfo.Utc Property

This is a built-in object; information about this TimeZoneInfo object is not retrieved from the registry.

Important
You should always access the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) zone through the TimeZoneInfo.Utc property rather than assigning the UTC time zone to a TimeZoneInfo object variable. This prevents the TimeZoneInfo object variable from being invalidated by a call to the ClearCachedData method.

Coordinated Universal Time was previously known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

The following example retrieves a TimeZoneInfo object that represents Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and outputs its display name, standard time name, and daylight saving time name.

TimeZoneInfo universalZone = TimeZoneInfo.Utc;
Console.WriteLine("The universal time zone is {0}.", universalZone.DisplayName);
Console.WriteLine("Its standard name is {0}.", universalZone.StandardName);
Console.WriteLine("Its daylight savings name is {0}.", universalZone.DaylightName);
