Struct ZonedDateTime

A LocalDateTime in a specific time zone and with a particular offset to distinguish between otherwise-ambiguous instants. A ZonedDateTime is global, in that it maps to a single Instant.

Syntax

public struct ZonedDateTime : IEquatable<ZonedDateTime>, IFormattable, IXmlSerializable, ISerializable
Remarks

Although ZonedDateTime includes both local and global concepts, it only supports duration-based - and not calendar-based - arithmetic. This avoids ambiguities and skipped date/time values becoming a problem within a series of calculations; instead, these can be considered just once, at the point of conversion to a ZonedDateTime.

ZonedDateTime does not implement ordered comparison operators, as there is no obvious natural ordering that works in all cases. Equality is supported however, requiring equality of zone, calendar and date/time. If you want to sort ZonedDateTime values, you should explicitly choose one of the orderings provided via the static properties in the ZonedDateTime.Comparer nested class (or implement your own comparison).

Constructors

ZonedDateTime(Instant, DateTimeZone)

Initializes a new instance of the ZonedDateTime struct in the specified time zone and the ISO calendar.
Since 1.0.x
Availability net45, netstandard1.3
Declaration
public ZonedDateTime(Instant instant, DateTimeZone zone)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Instant instant The instant.
DateTimeZone zone The time zone.
Exceptions
Type Condition
ArgumentNullException zone is null.

ZonedDateTime(Instant, DateTimeZone, CalendarSystem)

Initializes a new instance of the ZonedDateTime struct.
Since 1.0.x
Availability net45, netstandard1.3
Declaration
public ZonedDateTime(Instant instant, DateTimeZone zone, CalendarSystem calendar)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Instant instant The instant.
DateTimeZone zone The time zone.
CalendarSystem calendar The calendar system.
Exceptions
Type Condition

ZonedDateTime(LocalDateTime, DateTimeZone, Offset)

Initializes a new instance of the ZonedDateTime struct in the specified time zone from a given local time and offset. The offset is validated to be correct as part of initialization. In most cases a local time can only map to a single instant anyway, but the offset is included here for cases where the local time is ambiguous, usually due to daylight saving transitions.

ToDateTimeOffset()

Constructs a System.DateTimeOffset value with the same local time and offset from UTC as this value.
Since 1.0.x
Availability net45, netstandard1.3
Declaration
public DateTimeOffset ToDateTimeOffset()
Returns
Type Description
DateTimeOffset A DateTimeOffset with the same local date/time and offset as this. The System.DateTime part of the result always has a "kind" of Unspecified.
Remarks

An offset does not convey as much information as a time zone; a System.DateTimeOffset represents an instant in time along with an associated local time, but it doesn't allow you to find out what the local time would be for another instant.

If the date and time is not on a tick boundary (the unit of granularity of DateTime) the value will be truncated towards the start of time.

If the offset has a non-zero second component, this is truncated as DateTimeOffset has an offset granularity of minutes.

Exceptions
Type Condition
System.InvalidOperationException The date/time is outside the range of DateTimeOffset, or the offset is outside the range of +/-14 hours (the range supported by DateTimeOffset).

ToDateTimeUnspecified()

Constructs a System.DateTime from this ZonedDateTime which has a System.DateTime.Kind of System.DateTimeKind.Unspecified and represents the same local time as this value rather than the same instant in time.
Since 1.0.x
Availability net45, netstandard1.3
Declaration
public DateTime ToDateTimeUnspecified()
Returns
Type Description
DateTime A System.DateTime representation of this value with an "unspecified" kind, with the same local date and time as this value.
Remarks

System.DateTimeKind.Unspecified is slightly odd - it can be treated as UTC if you use System.DateTime.ToLocalTime or as system local time if you use System.DateTime.ToUniversalTime, but it's the only kind which allows you to construct a System.DateTimeOffset with an arbitrary offset.

If the date and time is not on a tick boundary (the unit of granularity of DateTime) the value will be truncated towards the start of time.

Exceptions
Type Condition
System.InvalidOperationException The date/time is outside the range of DateTime.

ToDateTimeUtc()

Constructs a System.DateTime from this ZonedDateTime which has a System.DateTime.Kind of System.DateTimeKind.Utc and represents the same instant of time as this value rather than the same local time.
Since 1.0.x
Availability net45, netstandard1.3
Declaration
public DateTime ToDateTimeUtc()
Returns
Type Description
DateTime A System.DateTime representation of this value with a "universal" kind, with the same instant of time as this value.
Remarks

If the date and time is not on a tick boundary (the unit of granularity of DateTime) the value will be truncated towards the start of time.

Exceptions
Type Condition
System.InvalidOperationException The final date/time is outside the range of DateTime.

ToInstant()

Converts this value to the instant it represents on the time line.
Since 1.0.x
Availability net45, netstandard1.3
Declaration
public Instant ToInstant()
Returns
Type Description
Instant The instant corresponding to this value.
Remarks
This is always an unambiguous conversion. Any difficulties due to daylight saving transitions or other changes in time zone are handled when converting from a LocalDateTime to a ZonedDateTime; the ZonedDateTime remembers the actual offset from UTC to local time, so it always knows the exact instant represented.

ToOffsetDateTime()

Constructs an OffsetDateTime with the same local date and time, and the same offset as this zoned date and time, effectively just "removing" the time zone itself.
Since 1.0.x
Availability net45, netstandard1.3
Declaration
public OffsetDateTime ToOffsetDateTime()
Returns
Type Description
OffsetDateTime An OffsetDateTime with the same local date/time and offset as this value.

ToString()

Returns a System.String that represents this instance.
Since 1.0.x
Availability net45, netstandard1.3
Declaration
public override string ToString()
Returns
Type Description
String The value of the current instance in the default format pattern ("G"), using the current thread's culture to obtain a format provider.
Overrides
System.ValueType.ToString()

ToString(String, IFormatProvider)

Formats the value of the current instance using the specified pattern.
Since 1.2.x
Availability net45, netstandard1.3
Declaration
public string ToString(string patternText, IFormatProvider formatProvider)
Parameters
Type Name Description
String patternText The System.String specifying the pattern to use, or null to use the default format pattern ("G").
IFormatProvider formatProvider The System.IFormatProvider to use when formatting the value, or null to use the current thread's culture to obtain a format provider.
Returns
Type Description
String A System.String containing the value of the current instance in the specified format.

WithCalendar(CalendarSystem)

Creates a new ZonedDateTime representing the same physical date, time and offset, but in a different calendar. The returned ZonedDateTime is likely to have different date field values to this one. For example, January 1st 1970 in the Gregorian calendar was December 19th 1969 in the Julian calendar.

Availability net45, netstandard1.3
Declaration
public ZonedDateTime WithCalendar(CalendarSystem calendar)

Exceptions
Type Condition
