Dim thisTimeZone As TimeZoneInfo

thisTimeZone = TimeZoneInfo.Local
outputBlock.Text &= thisTimeZone.Equals(TimeZoneInfo.Local) & vbCrLf
outputBlock.Text &= thisTimeZone.Equals(TimeZoneInfo.Utc) & vbCrLf
TimeZoneInfo thisTimeZone;

thisTimeZone = TimeZoneInfo.Local;
outputBlock.Text += thisTimeZone.Equals(TimeZoneInfo.Local) + "\n";
outputBlock.Text += thisTimeZone.Equals(TimeZoneInfo.Utc) + "\n";
