System.Globalization.DaylightTime Member Details

Summary

Initializes a new instance of the DaylightTime class.

C# Syntax:

public DaylightTime(    DateTime start,    DateTime end,    TimeSpan delta );

start

The DateTime that represents the date and time when the daylight-saving period begins. The value must be in local time.

end

The DateTime that represents the date and time when the daylight-saving period ends. The value must be in local time.

delta

The TimeSpan that represents the difference between the standard time and the daylight-saving time in ticks.

The start parameter becomes the value of the DaylightTime.Start property of the new instance. The end parameter becomes the value of the DaylightTime.End property of the new instance. The delta parameter becomes the value of the DaylightTime.Delta property of the new instance.

Summary

Gets the TimeSpan that represents the difference between the standard time and the daylight-saving time.

C# Syntax:

public TimeSpan Delta {get;}

At the start of daylight-saving time, the clock time is advanced by the length of time specified in this property. At the end of daylight-saving time, the clock time is set back by the length of time specified in this property.

If this value is negative, the clock time is set back at the start of daylight-saving time and advanced at the end.

For example, in the United States, this property is a TimeSpan representing one hour.

Summary

Gets the DateTime that represents the date and time when the daylight-saving period ends.

C# Syntax:

public DateTime End {get;}

When the daylight-saving period ends, the clock time is set back to the standard time.

Return to top

Summary

Gets the DateTime that represents the date and time when the daylight-saving period begins.

C# Syntax:

public DateTime Start {get;}

When the daylight-saving period begins, the clock time is advanced by the number of ticks defined in DaylightTime.Delta to take advantage of the extended daylight hours.
