How to translate between Windows and IANA time zones?

by

As described in the timezone tag wiki, there are two different styles of time zones.

  • Those provided by Microsoft for use with Windows and the .Net TimeZoneInfo class (when running on Windows) are identified by a value such as "Eastern Standard Time".

  • Those provided by IANA in the TZDB, and used by the .NET TimeZoneInfo class when running on Linux or OSX, are identified by a value such as "America/New_York".

Many Internet-based APIs use the IANA time zones, but for numerous reasons one might need to convert this to a Windows time zone id, or vice-versa.

How can this be accomplished in .Net?
