System.Time.timeZone.bias Property
Gets the number of minutes that a time zone is offset from coordinated universal time (UTC).
This property is read-only.
Syntax
propVal = System.Time.timeZone.bias()
Parameters
- longBias [out]

Examples
The following example demonstrates how to get system time details based on selected time zone.
var oSelectedTimeZone = System.Time.currentTimeZone;
// Set the time zone details.
var sTimeZoneDetails = function()
{
var sDetails = "";
sDetails += "Bias: " + oSelectedTimeZone.bias + "<hr />";
sDetails += "Display Name: " + oSelectedTimeZone.displayName + "<hr />";
sDetails += "DST Bias: " + oSelectedTimeZone.DSTBias + "<hr />";
sDetails += "DST Date: " + oSelectedTimeZone.DSTDate + "<hr />";
sDetails += "DST Display Name: " + oSelectedTimeZone.DSTDisplayName + "<hr />";
sDetails += "Name: " + oSelectedTimeZone.name + "<hr />";
sDetails += "Standard Bias: " + oSelectedTimeZone.standardBias + "<hr />";
sDetails += "Standard Date: " + oSelectedTimeZone.standardDate + "<hr />";
sDetails += "Standard Display Name: " + oSelectedTimeZone.standardDisplayName;
return sDetails;
