DateTimeKind Enumeration

.NET Framework 4

Specifies whether a DateTime object represents a local time, a Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), or is not specified as either local time or UTC.

Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Copy

[SerializableAttribute]
[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
public enum DateTimeKind

	Member name	Description
	Unspecified	The time represented is not specified as either local time or Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
	Utc	The time represented is UTC.
	Local	The time represented is local time.

A member of the DateTimeKind enumeration is returned by the DateTime.Kind property.

The members of the DateTimeKind enumeration are used in conversion operations between local time and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), but not in comparison or arithmetic operations. For more information about time conversions, see Converting Times Between Time Zones.

DateTimeKind in WCF Serialization

Take care of DateTimeKind in Serialitzation , DateTimeKind.Unspecified and DateTimeKind.UTC date times send straight forward, but date times with DateTimeKind.Local will be converted from source computer local time time zone to destination computer time zone.

For example : 10:00 AM Local in a UTC Server , will be received as 11:00 in a Europe/Madrid (GMT+1) client or 12:00 on a (GMT+2) client.
