GPS date is GMT+0 and does not consider daylight saving.
I want to correct it not with my time zone and DST but with any time zone and DST.
23 November 2011 15:00:00 GMT0, what date is at GMT+5 considering daylight saving also ?

You can set DateTime.DateFormat to your format coming form gps. Then you can use DateTime.DateParse to obtain a long value representing your date and time, and then use DateTime.Add function to correct your date according to time zone and DST

Thank you for your help, but this is what I'm actually doing ...

My doubt is this : suppose I want to correct the date for +5 time zone. I can add 5 x 3600000 thicks. But what about DST ? I don't know if at +5 they have DST or not. How do I have to consider DST in my code ?

You can use DateTime.SetTimeZone(1). The DST will not have any effect in this case.
