TimeZoneInfo.TransitionTime Structure

.NET Framework 4

Provides information about a specific time change, such as the change from daylight saving time to standard time or vice versa, in a particular time zone.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
C#
C++
F#
VB
Copy 
[SerializableAttribute]
[HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, MayLeakOnAbort = true)]
public struct TransitionTime : IEquatable<TimeZoneInfo..::..TransitionTime>, 
	ISerializable, IDeserializationCallback

The TimeZoneInfo.TransitionTime type exposes the following members.

  Name Description
Public property Day Gets the day on which the time change occurs.
Public property DayOfWeek Gets the day of the week on which the time change occurs.
Public property IsFixedDateRule Gets a value indicating whether the time change occurs at a fixed date and time (such as November 1) or a floating date and time (such as the last Sunday of October).
Public property Month Gets the month in which the time change occurs.
Public property TimeOfDay Gets the hour, minute, and second at which the time change occurs.
Public property Week Gets the week of the month in which a time change occurs.

  Name Description
Public method Static member CreateFixedDateRule Defines a time change that uses a fixed-date rule.
Public method Static member CreateFloatingDateRule Defines a time change that uses a floating-date rule.
Public method Equals(Object) Determines whether an object has identical values to the current TimeZoneInfo.TransitionTime object. (Overrides ValueType.Equals(Object).)
Public method Equals(TimeZoneInfo.TransitionTime) Determines whether the current TimeZoneInfo.TransitionTime object has identical values to a second TimeZoneInfo.TransitionTime object.
Protected method Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for hashing algorithms and data structures such as hash tables. (Overrides ValueType.GetHashCode().)
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method ToString Returns the fully qualified type name of this instance. (Inherited from ValueType.)

  Name Description
Public operator Static member Equality Determines whether two specified TimeZoneInfo.TransitionTime objects are equal.
Public operator Static member Inequality Determines whether two specified TimeZoneInfo.TransitionTime objects are not equal.

  Name Description
Explicit interface implemetation Private method IDeserializationCallback.OnDeserialization Infrastructure. Runs when the deserialization of an object has been completed.
Explicit interface implemetation Private method ISerializable.GetObjectData Infrastructure. Populates a SerializationInfo object with the data that is required to serialize this object.

You can use the TimeZoneInfo.TransitionTime structure to indicate when a transition from standard time to daylight saving time, or from daylight saving time back to standard time, occurs. This structure supports both fixed-date rules and floating-date rules. Use fixed-date rules for time transitions that occur on a specific day of a specific month (such as 2:00 A.M. on November 3). Use floating-date rules for time transitions that occur on a specific day of a specific week of a specific month (such as 2:00 A.M. on the first Sunday of November).

Note Note

An instance of the TimeZoneInfo.TransitionTime structure is immutable. Once an object has been created, its values cannot be modified.

A TimeZoneInfo.TransitionTime object can be created by calling the static (Shared in Visual Basic) CreateFixedDateRule and CreateFloatingDateRule methods to create a fixed or floating-date rule, respectively. The starting and ending TimeZoneInfo.TransitionTime objects are then supplied as parameters to the CreateAdjustmentRule method to create a new adjustment rule that includes this transition time information.

The DaylightTransitionStart and DaylightTransitionEnd properties of an TimeZoneInfo.AdjustmentRule object return a TimeZoneInfo.TransitionTime object.

Note Note

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.
