Appointment World Times – Outlook 2010 Add in

After some bad experience scheduling meetings with people in different time zones I decide to write a simple add-in for outlook that will allow me to see times differences while writing the appointment.

If you have to schedule meetings around the world you probably familiar with the http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ and several more that will help you see the time and date difference between your location the the other attendees.

The code is simple as you can see below it takes appointment times and convert against the TimeZoneInfo collection.

foreach (TimeZoneInfo zone in zones)

{      DateTimeOffset off_s = new DateTimeOffset(start).ToOffset(zone.BaseUtcOffset);      DateTimeOffset off_e = new DateTimeOffset(end).ToOffset(zone.BaseUtcOffset);

}
