ASP.NET 2.0 - DateTime.Now How do I adjust to London time when host server is in California?

Hello,

I have the following code in my website:

<script runat="server">
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

dateLabel.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("dddd, dd MMMM yyyy")

End Sub
</script>

Having recently transferred hosts to Lunarpages who are based in California (who are GMT/UTC - 08:00 hours), the date now displayed on my website is incorrect.

How do I adjust my code so the day changes at midnight UK time?

Many thanks

Karen

adjustment = 0;

if (Running on Lunarpages) //Do a check to see if its http://yourwebsite.com or if its http://localhost for when your working @ home)
{
adjustment = X;
}

DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
now.AddHours(adjustment);

Or You can add hours or subtract hours of the difference between US time and UK time to ur textbox,

dim uktime as datetime
uktime = DateTime.Now
dim differenceHours as integer
'differenceHours = urdifference
uktime= uktime.AddHours(differenceHours)
dateLabel.Text = Convert.ToDateTime(uktime).ToString("dddd, dd MMMM yyyy")

Any reason why mine didn't work? It even used the same method calls.
