List of Timezone IDs for use with FindTimeZoneById() in C#?

Can someone please point me to a complete list of all the timezones referenced by the id expected in TimeZoneInfo.FindTimeZoneById()? I can't find a list anywhere and I've looked through the .NET documentation.

Solution 1:

Here's a full listing of a program and its results.

The code:

using System;

namespace TimeZoneIds
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            foreach (TimeZoneInfo z in TimeZoneInfo.GetSystemTimeZones())
            {
                Console.WriteLine(z.Id);
            }
        }
    }
}

And if you'd like to use it in C#.NET MVC in a Razor view:

}

Although for Razor you can of course just generate the options by looping through TimeZoneInfo.GetSystemTimeZones()
