Time stamp with Zone information

I have a requirement to get time stamp with zone information as

2014-12-05T08:37:25+0300

To achieve this I used time format as 

DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ")

but it gave me the output as this format

2014-12-05T08:37:25Z

Can anybody have idea on how to get timezone information in this format

This is normal because Z is not a standard or custom date and time format. That's why this character is copied to the result string unchanged.

I think your CurrentCulture represents UTC Offset with +0300 format without TimeSeparator, you can directly use The "K" custom format specifier since DateTime.Now returns Local as a DateTimeKind like;

DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssK");

result probably will be;

2014-12-05T08:37:25+0300

You can use this

 var now = DateTime.Now;
 Console.WriteLine(now.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss")
                    + now.ToString("zzz").Replace(":", string.Empty));

removing ":" from zzz format string is not a built in function in .NET and easiest way to remove it is by replacing it.
