TimeZoneInfo.AdjustmentRule Class
Provides information about a time zone adjustment, such as the transition to and from daylight saving time.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The TimeZoneInfo.AdjustmentRule type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | DateEnd | Gets the date when the adjustment rule ceases to be in effect. |
![]() | DateStart | Gets the date when the adjustment rule takes effect. |
![]() | DaylightDelta | Gets the amount of time that is required to form the time zone's daylight saving time. This amount of time is added to the time zone's offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). |
![]() | DaylightTransitionEnd | Gets information about the annual transition from daylight saving time back to standard time. |
![]() | DaylightTransitionStart | Gets information about the annual transition from standard time to daylight saving time. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | CreateAdjustmentRule | Creates a new adjustment rule for a particular time zone. |
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Equals(TimeZoneInfo.AdjustmentRule) | Determines whether the current TimeZoneInfo.AdjustmentRule object is equal to a second TimeZoneInfo.AdjustmentRule object. |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for hashing algorithms and data structures such as hash tables. (Overrides Object.GetHashCode().) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | IDeserializationCallback.OnDeserialization | Infrastructure. Runs when the deserialization of a TimeZoneInfo.AdjustmentRule object is completed. |
![]() ![]() | ISerializable.GetObjectData | Infrastructure. Populates a SerializationInfo object with the data that is required to serialize this object. |
The TimeZoneInfo.AdjustmentRule class defines the effective start and end dates of a particular time change to and from daylight saving time, respectively, as well as its delta (the exact amount by which the adjustment causes the time zone's standard time to change). In addition, two properties return TimeZoneInfo.TransitionTime objects that define when each transition to and from standard time occurs.
Note |
|---|
An instance of the TimeZoneInfo.AdjustmentRule class is immutable. Once an object has been created, its values cannot be modified. |
To create a TimeZoneInfo.AdjustmentRule object, call the static (Shared in Visual Basic) TimeZoneInfo.AdjustmentRule.CreateAdjustmentRule method. You can then supply an array of TimeZoneInfo.AdjustmentRule objects to two of the overloads of the TimeZoneInfo.CreateCustomTimeZone method. To retrieve the adjustment rules of a particular time zone, call its TimeZoneInfo.GetAdjustmentRules method, which returns an array of TimeZoneInfo.AdjustmentRule objects.

|---|
The HostProtectionAttribute attribute applied to this type or member has the following Resources property value: MayLeakOnAbort. The HostProtectionAttribute does not affect desktop applications (which are typically started by double-clicking an icon, typing a command, or entering a URL in a browser). For more information, see the HostProtectionAttribute class or SQL Server Programming and Host Protection Attributes. |
The following example retrieves all time zones defined on the local system and displays complete information about their adjustment rules.
private enum WeekOfMonth { First = 1, Second = 2, Third = 3, Fourth = 4, Last = 5, } private static void ShowStartAndEndDates() { // Get all time zones from system ReadOnlyCollection<TimeZoneInfo> timeZones = TimeZoneInfo.GetSystemTimeZones(); string[] monthNames = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.MonthNames; // Get each time zone foreach (TimeZoneInfo timeZone in timeZones) { TimeZoneInfo.AdjustmentRule[] adjustments = timeZone.GetAdjustmentRules(); // Display message for time zones with no adjustments if (adjustments.Length == 0) { Console.WriteLine("{0} has no adjustment rules", timeZone.StandardName); } else { // Handle time zones with 1 or 2+ adjustments differently bool showCount = false; int ctr = 0; string spacer = ""; Console.WriteLine("{0} Adjustment rules", timeZone.StandardName); if (adjustments.Length > 1) { showCount = true; spacer = " "; } // Iterate adjustment rules foreach (TimeZoneInfo.AdjustmentRule adjustment in adjustments) { if (showCount) { Console.WriteLine(" Adjustment rule #{0}", ctr+1); ctr++; } // Display general adjustment information Console.WriteLine("{0} Start Date: {1:D}", spacer, adjustment.DateStart); Console.WriteLine("{0} End Date: {1:D}", spacer, adjustment.DateEnd); Console.WriteLine("{0} Time Change: {1}:{2:00} hours", spacer, adjustment.DaylightDelta.Hours, adjustment.DaylightDelta.Minutes); // Get transition start information TimeZoneInfo.TransitionTime transitionStart = adjustment.DaylightTransitionStart; Console.Write("{0} Annual Start: ", spacer); if (transitionStart.IsFixedDateRule) { Console.WriteLine("On {0} {1} at {2:t}", monthNames[transitionStart.Month - 1], transitionStart.Day, transitionStart.TimeOfDay); } else { Console.WriteLine("The {0} {1} of {2} at {3:t}", ((WeekOfMonth)transitionStart.Week).ToString(), transitionStart.DayOfWeek.ToString(), monthNames[transitionStart.Month - 1], transitionStart.TimeOfDay); } // Get transition end information TimeZoneInfo.TransitionTime transitionEnd = adjustment.DaylightTransitionEnd; Console.Write("{0} Annual End: ", spacer); if (transitionEnd.IsFixedDateRule) { Console.WriteLine("On {0} {1} at {2:t}", monthNames[transitionEnd.Month - 1], transitionEnd.Day, transitionEnd.TimeOfDay); } else { Console.WriteLine("The {0} {1} of {2} at {3:t}", ((WeekOfMonth)transitionEnd.Week).ToString(), transitionEnd.DayOfWeek.ToString(), monthNames[transitionEnd.Month - 1], transitionEnd.TimeOfDay); } } } Console.WriteLine(); } }
The following is a small portion of the output that is generated by the example. The exact output will vary depending on the operating system and the date on which the example is run.
