Examples

The following example defines a method named ShowPossibleUtcTimes that uses the GetAmbiguousTimeOffsets(DateTime) method to map an ambiguous time to its possible corresponding Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) times.

private void ShowPossibleUtcTimes(DateTime ambiguousTime, TimeZoneInfo timeZone)

Remarks

The precise behavior of this method depends on the relationship between the Kind property and the TimeZoneInfo object, as the following table shows.

TimeZoneInfo object type	Kind property value	Behavior
TimeZoneInfo.Local	DateTimeKind.Local or DateTimeKind.Unspecified	Returns ambiguous time offsets for `dateTime`.
TimeZoneInfo.Local	DateTimeKind.Utc	Converts `dateTime` to the local time, and then returns ambiguous time offsets for that time.
TimeZoneInfo.Utc	Any value.	Throws an ArgumentException.
Any other time zone.	Local or DateTimeKind.Utc	Converts `dateTime` to the specified time zone, and then determines whether that time is ambiguous.
Any other time zone.	DateTimeKind.Unspecified	Determines whether `dateTime` is ambiguous in the specified time zone.

The order of TimeSpan objects in the array returned by this method is undefined. However, you can determine which element represents an offset from the time zone's standard time by comparing its value with the time zone's BaseUtcOffset property. To map an ambiguous time to a time zone's standard time, see How to: Resolve Ambiguous Times.

Returns information about the possible dates and times that an ambiguous date and time can be mapped to.

public TimeSpan[] GetAmbiguousTimeOffsets (DateTimeOffset dateTimeOffset);

member this.GetAmbiguousTimeOffsets : DateTimeOffset -> TimeSpan[]

Public Function GetAmbiguousTimeOffsets (dateTimeOffset As DateTimeOffset) As TimeSpan()

Parameters

dateTimeOffset: DateTimeOffset

A date and time.

Returns

TimeSpan[]

An array of objects that represents possible Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) offsets that a particular date and time can be mapped to.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

dateTimeOffset is not an ambiguous time.

Remarks

The precise behavior of this method depends on the relationship between the Offset property of the dateTimeOffset parameter and the TimeZoneInfo object. If the value of the Offset property corresponds to the current time zone's possible offsets from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) for that date and time, the method returns the possible offsets. Otherwise, it converts dateTimeOffset to the time in the current time zone, and then returns the possible offsets of that date and time.
