Remarks

Use the TimeZone property of the SPRegionalSettings class to return the time zone used in a specific site. Otherwise, use the TimeZones property of either the SPRegionalSettings or SPGlobalAdmin class to return the collection of time zones used in the site or in the deployment of Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services. Use an indexer to return a single time zone from the collection. For example, if the collection is assigned to a variable named myTimeZones, use myTimeZones[index] in C#, or myTimeZones(index) in Visual Basic .NET, where index is the index number of the time zone in the collection.
