Remarks

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

The TimeZoneInfo 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 TimeZoneInfo object can represent any time zone, and methods of the TimeZoneInfo 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 TimeZoneInfo 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 TimeZoneInfo class is immutable. Once an object has been instantiated, its values cannot be modified.

You cannot instantiate a TimeZoneInfo object using the new keyword. Instead, you must call one of the static members of the TimeZoneInfo class shown in the following table.

Static member name Description
CreateCustomTimeZone method Creates a custom time zone from application-supplied data.
FindSystemTimeZoneById method Instantiates a time zone based on its identifier.
FromSerializedString method Deserializes a string value to re-create a previously serialized TimeZoneInfo object.
GetSystemTimeZones method Returns an enumerable ReadOnlyCollection<T> of TimeZoneInfo objects that represents all time zones that are available on the local system.
Local property Instantiates a TimeZoneInfo object that represents the local time zone.
Utc property Instantiates a TimeZoneInfo object that represents the UTC zone.

You can use the CreateCustomTimeZone method to create a time zone that is not defined in the local system registry on Windows systems or by the ICU Library's Time Zone Data on Linux or macOS. You can then use the ToSerializedString property to save the time zone object's information as a string, which can be stored in some form that is accessible to the application. You can use the FromSerializedString method to convert a serialized string back to a TimeZoneInfo object.

Properties

BaseUtcOffset

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

DaylightName

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

DisplayName

Gets the general display name that represents the time zone.

HasIanaId

Returns true if this TimeZoneInfo object has an IANA ID.

Id

Gets the time zone identifier.

Local

Gets a TimeZoneInfo object that represents the local time zone.

StandardName

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

SupportsDaylightSavingTime

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

Utc

Gets a TimeZoneInfo object that represents the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) zone.

Methods

ClearCachedData()

Clears cached time zone data.

ConvertTime(DateTime, TimeZoneInfo, TimeZoneInfo)

Converts a time from one time zone to another.

ConvertTime(DateTime, TimeZoneInfo)

Converts a time to the time in a particular time zone.

ConvertTime(DateTimeOffset, TimeZoneInfo)

Converts a time to the time in a particular time zone.

ConvertTimeBySystemTimeZoneId(DateTime, String, String)

Converts a time from one time zone to another based on time zone identifiers.

ConvertTimeBySystemTimeZoneId(DateTime, String)

Converts a time to the time in another time zone based on the time zone's identifier.

ConvertTimeBySystemTimeZoneId(DateTimeOffset, String)

Converts a time to the time in another time zone based on the time zone's identifier.

ConvertTimeFromUtc(DateTime, TimeZoneInfo)

Converts a Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to the time in a specified time zone.

ConvertTimeToUtc(DateTime, TimeZoneInfo)

Converts the time in a specified time zone to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

ConvertTimeToUtc(DateTime)

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

CreateCustomTimeZone(String, TimeSpan, String, String, String, TimeZoneInfo+AdjustmentRule[], Boolean)

Creates a custom time zone with a specified identifier, an offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), a display name, a standard time name, a daylight saving time name, daylight saving time rules, and a value that indicates whether the returned object reflects daylight saving time information.

CreateCustomTimeZone(String, TimeSpan, String, String, String, TimeZoneInfo+AdjustmentRule[])

Creates a custom time zone with a specified identifier, an offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), a display name, a standard time name, a daylight saving time name, and daylight saving time rules.

CreateCustomTimeZone(String, TimeSpan, String, String)

Creates a custom time zone with a specified identifier, an offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), a display name, and a standard time display name.
