Describes how to create a custom time zone and save its information in a resource file.
How to: Restore Time Zones from an Embedded Resource
Describes how to instantiate custom time zones that have been saved to an embedded resource file.
Performing Arithmetic Operations with Dates and Times
Discusses the issues involved in adding, subtracting, and comparing DateTime and DateTimeOffset values.
How to: Use Time Zones in Date and Time Arithmetic
Discusses how to perform date and time arithmetic that reflects a time zone's adjustment rules.
Converting Between DateTime and DateTimeOffset
Describes how to convert between DateTime and DateTimeOffset values.
Converting Times Between Time Zones
Describes how to convert times from one time zone to another.
How to: Resolve Ambiguous Times
Describes how to resolve an ambiguous time by mapping it to the time zone's standard time.
