title: How to know the central time in .NET
body: <p>I have a console app on the server that I need to run between 8 am to 5pm central time on weekdays. I have a batch file that invokes the console app and scheduled it to run every hour from Mon-Fri for a period of 12 hours. This means that the app would be running 12 hours instead of 10.  To overcome this problem...I want to do a simple check in .NET code that checks if the time is between 8 am to 5 pm central time..</p>
  
  <p>How do I know if the time is between 8 am to 5 pm central time in .NET.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas and suggestions are much appreciated!</p>
