'Can I Force A ASP.Net Website to Show Time in A Specific Time Zone?
I have a client request that all times be displayed in Pacific Time Zone, regardless of client settings. I'd like to avoid a scenario where I have to call a function for every time display and instead have a single point where I can make the switch.
I'm thinking a custom culture might do the trick, but I wanted to ask before I set off down a potentially blind alley (or miss something trivially easy).

Here's the documentation for Daniel's sample:

Solution 2:[2]
If you store your times in UTC you can convert to whatever you want easily. Michael Brumm has some fairly old code that may help you out with a custom TimeZone. Hard coding an offset will cause issues when DST kicks in.
Note: I haven't used this code on Michael's site.
