using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Text;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using Microsoft.Win32;

namespace Microsoft.Samples.TimeZoneConvertCS {
  /// TimeZoneCollection
  /// implements a sorted list of TimeZones by reading the Windows 
  /// Registry (there's currently no other way to do it)
  public class TimeZoneList : System.Collections.ArrayList {
    public TimeZoneList() {
      //initialize the list
      this.Initialize();  
    }

    public TimeZone this[string name] {
      get {
        int i;
        for (i = 0; i < this.Count; i++) {
          if (((TimeZone)base[i]).StandardName == name) {
            break;
          }
        }
        if (i == this.Count) {
          return null;
        } else {
          return (TimeZone)base[i];
        }
      }
      set { base.Add(this); }
    }

    private void Initialize() {
      RegistryKey hKeyRoot;
      RegistryKey hKeyTZ;
      RegistryKey  hKey;
      TimeZone tz;
      String stTZKey;
      String[] KeySet;

      int i;
      int m_count;
      hKeyRoot = Registry.LocalMachine;
      // Hack Hack - reading the registry ...
      // first try with NT/2k/Xp key
      stTZKey = "SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Time Zones";
      hKeyTZ = hKeyRoot.OpenSubKey(stTZKey);
...      
       
      //now add all subkeys
      KeySet = hKeyTZ.GetSubKeyNames();
      m_count = hKeyTZ.SubKeyCount;
      for (i = 0; i <= (m_count - 1); i++)  {
        hKey = hKeyTZ.OpenSubKey(KeySet[i]);
        //... with some properties
        tz = new TimeZone(hKey);
        hKey.Close();
...
