Use the zzz format specifier to get the timezone offset as hours and minutes  You also want to use the HH format specifier to get the hours in 24 hour format   DateTime Now ToString  yyyy-MM-ddTHH mm sszzz     Result   2011-08-09T23 49 58 02 00   Some culture settings uses periods instead of colons for time  so you might want to use literal colons instead of time separators   DateTime Now ToString  yyyy-MM-ddTHH   mm   sszzz     Custom Date and Time Format Strings
