Remarks

A time zone is a geographical region in which the same time is used.

The time_zone_info class offers significant enhancements over the TimeZone class, which provides only limited functionality.

The TimeZone class recognizes only the local time zone, and can convert times between Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and local time. A time_zone_info object can represent any time zone, and methods of the time_zone_info class can be used to convert the time in one time zone to the corresponding time in any other time zone. The members of the time_zone_info class support the following operations:

Retrieving a time zone that is already defined by the operating system.
Enumerating the time zones that are available on a system.
Converting times between different time zones.
Creating a new time zone that is not already defined by the operating system.
Serializing a time zone for later retrieval.

Note: An instance of the time_zone_info class is immutable. Once an object has been instantiated, its values cannot be modified.

Member Function Documentation

◆ base_utc_offset()

ticks xtd::time_zone_info::base_utc_offset ( ) const

noexcept

Gets the time difference between the current time zone's standard time and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

Returns: TimeSpan An object that indicates the time difference between the current time zone's standard time and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

Remarks: The time span returned by the BaseUtcOffset property can range from 14 hours (for a time zone that is 14 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)) to -14 hours (for a time zone that is 14 hours behind UTC). Time zones that are ahead of UTC have a positive offset; time zones that are behind UTC have a negative offset.; The BaseUtcOffset value is represented as a whole number of minutes. It cannot include a fractional number of minutes.

Note

Because BaseUtcOffset is a property of the time_zone_info object rather than the time_zone_info.AdjustmentRule object, the time_zone_info class applies a single offset from UTC to all of a time zone's adjustments. To reflect a time zone that has modified its offset from UTC, you must create a new time zone using the CreateCustomTimeZone method.

The BaseUtcOffset property differs from the GetUtcOffset method in the following ways:

The BaseUtcOffset property returns the difference between UTC and the time zone's standard time; the GetUtcOffset method returns the difference between UTC and the time zone's time at a particular point in time.
The GetUtcOffset method reflects the application of any adjustment rules to the time zone; the BaseUtcOffset property does not.

static

Converts the specified date and time to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

Parameters

date_time The date and time to convert.

Returns: The Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) that corresponds to the date_time parameter. The xtd::date_time value's xtd::date_time::kind property is always set to xtd::date_time_kind::utc.

◆ convert_to_utc() [2/2]

static xtd::date_time xtd::time_zone_info::convert_to_utc	(	const xtd::date_time &	date_time,

date_time	The date and time to convert.
source_time_zone	The time zone of dateTime.

Returns: The Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) that corresponds to the date_time parameter. The xtd::date_time object's xtd::date_time::kind property is always set to xtd::date_time_kind::utc.

◆ daylight_name()

const ustring & xtd::time_zone_info::daylight_name ( ) const

noexcept

Gets the display name for the current time zone's daylight saving time.

Returns: string The display name for the time zone's daylight saving time.

Remarks: The display name is localized based on the culture installed with the Windows operating system.; A DaylightName property whose value is not ustring.Empty or null does not necessarily indicate that the time zone supports daylight saving time. To determine whether the time zone supports daylight saving time, check the value of its SupportsDaylightSavingTime property.; In most cases, the DaylightName property of time zones defined in the registry is not ustring.Empty or null. However, the DaylightName property of custom time zones can be set to ustring.Empty. This occurs when custom time zones are created by the time_zone_info.CreateCustomTimeZone(ustring, TimeSpan, ustring, ustring) or the time_zone_info.CreateCustomTimeZone(ustring, TimeSpan, ustring, ustring, ustring, time_zone_info.AdjustmentRule[], Boolean) overload and the disableDaylightSavingTime parameter is true. Therefore, your code should never assume that the value of the DaylightName property is not null or empty.; The DaylightName property is equivalent to the DaylightName property of the TimeZone class.

◆ display_name()

const ustring & xtd::time_zone_info::display_name ( ) const

noexcept

Gets the general display name that represents the time zone.

Returns: string The time zone's general display name.

Remarks: The display name is localized based on the culture installed with the Windows operating system.; Time zone display names for Windows system time zones follow a fairly standard format. The first portion of the display name is the time zone's base offset from Coordinated Universal Time, which is indicated by the acronym GMT (for Greenwich Mean Time), enclosed in parentheses. For Coordinated Universal Time, the GMT acronym with no offset is enclosed in parentheses. This is followed by a string that identifies the time zone or one or more of the cities, regions, or countries in the time zone. For example:
(GMT) Greenwich Mean Time : Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London

(GMT+02:00) Athens, Beirut, Istanbul, Minsk

(GMT-02:00) Mid-Atlantic

(GMT-07:00) Mountain Time (US & Canada)

◆ equals()

bool xtd::time_zone_info::equals ( const time_zone_info & ) const

overridevirtualnoexcept

Indicates whether the current object is equal to another object of the same type.

Parameters

obj	An object to compare with this object.

Returns: true if the current object is equal to the other parameter; otherwise, false.

Implements xtd::iequatable< time_zone_info >.

◆ get_adjustement_rules()

std::vector< adjustement_rule > xtd::time_zone_info::get_adjustement_rules ( ) const

noexcept

Retrieves an array of xtd::time_zone_info::adjustment_rule objects that apply to the current xtd::time_zone_info object.

Returns: An array of objects for this time zone.

◆ get_system_time_zones()

static const std::list< time_zone_info > & xtd::time_zone_info::get_system_time_zones ( )

staticnoexcept

Returns a sorted collection of all the time zones about which information is available on the local system.

Returns: An read-only Array of time_zone_info objects.

◆ id()

const ustring & xtd::time_zone_info::id ( ) const

noexcept

Gets the time zone identifier.

Returns: string The time zone identifier.

Remarks: The time zone identifier is a key string that uniquely identifies a particular time zone. It can be passed as a parameter to the FindSystemTimeZoneById method to retrieve a particular time zone from the registry.

◆ is_daylight_saving_time()

bool xtd::time_zone_info::is_daylight_saving_time ( const xtd::date_time & date_time ) const

noexcept

Indicates whether a specified date and time falls in the range of daylight saving time for the time zone of the current xtd::time_zone_info object.

Parameters

date_time A date and time value.

Returns: true if the date_time parameter is a daylight saving time; otherwise, false.

◆ local()

static const time_zone_info & xtd::time_zone_info::local ( )

staticnoexcept

Gets a time_zone_info object that represents the local time zone.

Returns: time_zone_info An object that represents the local time zone.

◆ standard_name()

const ustring & xtd::time_zone_info::standard_name ( ) const

noexcept

Gets the display name for the time zone's standard time.

Returns: The display name of the time zone's standard time.

Remarks: The display name is localized based on the culture installed with the Windows operating system.; The StandardName property is identical to the StandardName property of the TimeZone class.; The value of the StandardName property is usually, but not always, identical to that of the Id property.

◆ supports_daylight_saving_time()

bool xtd::time_zone_info::supports_daylight_saving_time ( ) const

noexcept

Gets a value indicating whether the time zone has any daylight saving time rules.*.

Returns: bool true if the time zone supports daylight saving time; otherwise, false.

Remarks: The value of the SupportsDaylightSavingTime property for the local time zone returned by the time_zone_info.Local property reflects the setting of the Control Panel Date and Time application's checkbox that defines whether the system automatically adjusts for daylight saving time. If it is unchecked, or if no checkbox is displayed for a time zone, the value of this property is false.

◆ time_find_system_time_zone_by_id()

static time_zone_info xtd::time_zone_info::time_find_system_time_zone_by_id ( const ustring & id )

static

Retrieves a time_zone_info object from the registry based on its identifier.

Parameters

id	The time zone identifier, which corresponds to the Id property.

Returns: An object whose identifier is the value of the id parameter.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException	The id parameter is null.
TimeZoneNotFoundException	The time zone identifier specified by id was not found. This means that a registry key whose name matches id does not exist, or that the key exists but does not contain any time zone data.

◆ to_string()

xtd::ustring xtd::time_zone_info::to_string ( ) const

overridevirtualnoexcept

Returns a sxd::ustring that represents the current object.

Returns: A string that represents the current object.

Examples: The following code example demonstrates what to_string returns.

Reimplemented from xtd::object.
