Maybe this code helpful:

string dateString = DateTime.Now.ToString(
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture.DateTimeFormat.LongDatePattern
);

You code runs on server. It has no knowledge about the client machine
timezone. You need to get in on client side with a javascript call

Date.getTimezoneOffset()";

the pass the value to server side in a hidden input control.

Only if the client and server happen to be in the same time zone...

If Alexander want display date in browser, it certainly should use
javascript to do.
I'm sorry because i only think this require run on one machine although
this group is aspnet :-)
