Auto Set Sun.TimeZone in C#

Hi All

I have this C# Script from a while back that controls the Sun in Rhino though Grasshopper but not been able to understand how i add a way to automatically set the time zone in the same way as it work if you enter the Longitude or Latitude manually in the sun Panel in Rhino it self

This is the current code

private void RunScript(DateTime date, double lat, double lon, ref object A)
{
Rhino.Render.Sun s = doc.Lights.Sun;
s.SetPosition(date, lat, lon);

}

Found Here:

Thanks

Matt

PS. If anyone had been able to control the Sun including time zone though python please post this too, as everything i have tried either returns errors or crashes Rhino in GHPython

I don't see a way to do this without relying on an external API like google's to look up the time zone, unfortunately.

I've got a working example in C# - got pretty far but not quite all the way to a working translation to python. My knowledge of IronPython fails at generics/ custom classes etc.

Hope this helps you some!
