Changing Local TimeZone in a Program

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,

I need to if a calendar function works for different time zones. I can
get the time of UTC and local time by doing:

DateTime utc = System.DateTime.UtcNow;
DateTime local = System.DateTime.Now;

That would give me UTC and local time, so in my case, it would be
Pacific Time. But how can I change my timezone so that I can get the
local time in the East Coast, for example.

With thanks,
Brian
