    SQL Server's datetime does not store timezone as part of the datetime format.

    To store this data, you can either strip off the time zone portion (using SUBSTRING in sql or Substring in .Net) and store as is. If the timezone is important to you, you can normalize the time with respect to a standard time zone and then strip the timezone off.
