.NET Framework Class Library DateTime..::.ToUniversalTime Method Converts the value of the current DateTime object to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
Namespace:
System
Assembly:
mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax
Public Function ToUniversalTime As DateTime
public DateTime ToUniversalTime()
public:
DateTime ToUniversalTime()
member ToUniversalTime : unit -> DateTime
Return ValueType: System..::.DateTimeAn object whose Kind property is Utc, and whose value is the UTC equivalent to the value of the current DateTime object, or MaxValue if the converted value is too large to be represented by a DateTime object, or MinValue if the converted value is too small to be represented by a DateTime object.

Remarks
The Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is equal to the local time minus the UTC offset. For more information about the UTC offset, see TimeZone..::.GetUtcOffset. The conversion also takes into account the daylight saving time rule that applies to the time represented by the current DateTime object. Important |
|---|
On Windows XP systems, the ToUniversalTime method recognizes only the current adjustment rule when converting from local time to UTC. As a result, conversions for periods before the current adjustment rule came into effect may not accurately reflect the difference between local time and UTC. |
Starting with the .NET Framework version 2.0, the value returned by the ToUniversalTime method is determined by the Kind property of the current DateTime object. The following table describes the possible results. Kind | Results |
|---|
Utc
| No conversion is performed. |
Local
| The current DateTime object is converted to UTC. |
Unspecified
| The current DateTime object is assumed to be a local time, and the conversion is performed as if Kind were Local. |
If the date and time instance value is an ambiguous time, this method assumes that it is a standard time. (An ambiguous time is one that can map either to a standard time or to a daylight saving time in the local time zone) If the date and time instance value is an invalid time, this method simply subtracts the local time from the local time zone's UTC offset to return UTC. (An invalid time is one that does not exist because of the application of daylight saving time adjustment rules.) Notes to CallersThe ToUniversalTime method is sometimes used to convert a local time to UTC. The ToLocalTime method is then called to restore the original local time. However, if the original time represents an invalid time in the local time zone, the two local time values will not be equal. For additional information and an example, see the ToLocalTime method. On Windows XP systems, the ToUniversalTime method recognizes only the current adjustment rule for the local time zone, which it applies to all dates, including down-level dates (that is, dates that are earlier than the starting date of the current adjustment rule). Applications running on Windows XP that require historically accurate local date and time calculations must work around this behavior by using the FindSystemTimeZoneById method to retrieve a TimeZoneInfo object that corresponds to the local time zone and calling its TimeZoneInfo..::.ConvertTimeToUtc(DateTime, TimeZoneInfo) method. The following example illustrates the difference between the ToUniversalTime and TimeZoneInfo..::.ConvertTimeToUtc(DateTime, TimeZoneInfo) methods on a Windows XP system in the U.S. Pacific Time zone. The first two method calls apply the current time zone adjustment rule (which went into effect in 2007) to a date in 2006. The current adjustment rule provides for the transition to daylight saving time on the second Sunday of March; the previous rule, which was in effect in 2006, provided for the transition to daylight saving time to occur on the first Sunday of April. Only the third method call accurately performs this historical date and time conversion.
Module Example
Public Sub Main()
Dim date1 As Date = #3/21/2006 2:00AM#
Console.WriteLine(date1.ToUniversalTime())
Console.WriteLine(TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeToUtc(date1))
Dim tz As TimeZoneInfo = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("Pacific Standard Time")
Console.WriteLine(TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeToUtc(date1, tz))
End Sub

Biblioteca de clases de .NET Framework DateTime..::.ToUniversalTime (Método) Convierte el valor del objeto DateTime actual a la hora universal coordinada (UCT).
Espacio de nombres:
System
Ensamblado:
mscorlib (en mscorlib.dll)

Sintaxis
Public Function ToUniversalTime As DateTime
public DateTime ToUniversalTime()
public:
DateTime ToUniversalTime()
member ToUniversalTime : unit -> DateTime
Valor devueltoTipo: System..::.DateTimeObjeto cuya propiedad Kind es Utc y cuyo valor es la hora UTC equivalente al valor del objeto DateTime actual, o MaxValue si el valor convertido es demasiado grande para representarlo mediante un objeto DateTime, o MinValue si el valor convertido es demasiado pequeño para representarlo mediante un objeto DateTime.

Comentarios
La hora universal coordinada (UTC) es igual a la hora local menos el desplazamiento de UTC. Para obtener más información sobre el desplazamiento relativo al horario UTC, vea TimeZone..::.GetUtcOffset. La conversión también tiene en cuenta las reglas del horario de verano que se aplican a la hora representada por el objeto DateTime actual. Importante |
|---|
En sistemas Windows XP, el método ToUniversalTime solo reconoce la regla de ajuste actual al convertir la hora local en UTC. Como consecuencia, puede que las conversiones para períodos anteriores a la entrada en vigor de la regla de ajuste actual no reflejen con precisión la diferencia entre hora local y hora UTC. |
A partir de la versión 2.0 de .NET Framework, el valor devuelto por el método ToUniversalTime viene determinado por la propiedad Kind del objeto DateTime actual. En la siguiente tabla se describen los posibles resultados. Kind | Resultados |
|---|
Utc
| No se lleva a cabo ninguna conversión. |
Local
| El objeto DateTime actual se convierte a hora UTC. |
Unspecified
| Se supone que el objeto DateTime actual es una hora local y la conversión se realiza como si Kind fuera Local. |
Si el valor de la instancia de fecha y hora es una hora ambigua, este método supone que se trata de una hora estándar. (Se dice que una hora es ambigua cuando se puede asignar a una hora estándar o a una hora correspondiente al horario de verano en la zona horaria local). Si el valor de la instancia de fecha y hora corresponde a una hora no válida, este método resta la hora local del desplazamiento de UTC de la zona horaria para devolver la hora UTC. Se dice que una hora no es válida cuando no existe debido a la aplicación de las reglas de ajuste del horario de verano. Notas para los llamadoresEl método ToUniversalTime se utiliza a veces para convertir una hora local en hora UTC. Entonces se llama al método ToLocalTime para restaurar la hora local original. Sin embargo, si el tiempo original representa una hora no válida en la zona horaria local, los dos valores de la hora local no serán iguales. Para obtener información adicional y un ejemplo, vea el método ToLocalTime. En sistemas Windows XP, el método ToUniversalTime solo reconoce la regla de ajuste actual para la zona horaria local, que aplica a todas las fechas, incluidas las fechas de nivel inferior (es decir, fechas que son anteriores a la fecha de inicio de la regla de ajuste). Las aplicaciones que se ejecutan en Windows XP que requieren cálculos de fecha y hora locales históricamente precisos deben evitar este comportamiento utilizando el método FindSystemTimeZoneById para recuperar un objeto TimeZoneInfo que corresponde a la zona horaria local y llamando a su método TimeZoneInfo..::.ConvertTimeToUtc(DateTime, TimeZoneInfo). En el siguiente ejemplo se muestra la diferencia entre los métodos ToUniversalTime y TimeZoneInfo..::.ConvertTimeToUtc(DateTime, TimeZoneInfo) en un sistema Windows XP en EE.UU. Las primeras dos llamadas al método aplican la regla de ajuste de zona horaria actual (que entró en efecto en 2007) a una fecha de 2006. La regla de ajuste actual incluye la transición al horario de verano en el segundo domingo de marzo; la regla anterior, que estaba en vigor en 2006, incluía la transición al horario de verano en el primer domingo de abril. Solo la tercera llamada al método realiza esta conversión de fecha y hora histórica con precisión.
