daylight_name()

const string & 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 string.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 string.Empty or null. However, the DaylightName property of custom time zones can be set to string.Empty. This occurs when custom time zones are created by the time_zone_info.CreateCustomTimeZone(string, TimeSpan, string, string) or the time_zone_info.CreateCustomTimeZone(string, TimeSpan, string, string, string, 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.
