DateTimeOffset newTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime(DateTimeOffset.UtcNow, TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("AppTimeZone"));

to blatantly take answers from other SO questions:

In .NET 3.5, there is TimeZoneInfo, which provides a lot of functionality in this area; 2.0SP1 has DateTimeOffset, but this is much more limited.

See the following SO questions:

Or just search SO for a lot of answers including some that take into consideration Daylight Savings.

You can use the TimeZone class to convert from the server's local time to UTC, then from UTC to your (or the particular website user's) time zone.

Have you looked at the TimeZoneInfo class. You should be able to convert to and from local to server time through there whilst maintaining DST.

There is also an Open Source time zone implementation by Jon Skeet et. al call Noda-Time.
