Change from UKT start time to my local?

[Bernard.Mangay]

Hi,

I'm receiving a data feed and trying to parse it in c#.

One of the time fields is in timezone "UKT". that appears to be 1
hour ahead of me in London.

How can I convert the timestamp field from UKT to my local timezone?
I don't want to just add an hour as the code will fall apart when we
leave BST.

Thanks,

Mangay.

Convert to UTC then use whatever the locale's timezone offset is to
calculate real time?
