Find current time zone and convert it to it's abbreviation based on the local time

Question

I'm trying to make a custom time stamp on a program with the current time zone. I have no real good idea how to get it. All I know is that it starts with TimeZoneInfo. Any help would be appreciated. This is what I got so far:

Dim d1 As Date = Now
Label1.Text = ("#" + d1.ToString("ddd" & " " & "MMM" & " " & "dd" & "IN HERE GOES TIMEZONE" & "hh:mm:ss" & " " &  & DateTime.Now.Year))

I'm hoping to be able to use the loacl computer's time to convert it.

No need to convert the date to string and chop it up like that, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kb3ddd4(v=vs.110).aspx — Ňɏssa Pøngjǣrdenlarp, Apr 09 '15 at 01:03

Label1.Text = ("#" + d1.ToString("ddd MMM dd hh:mm:ss yyyy")
