The StandardName property corresponds to the TimeZoneInfo::StandardName property. Whenever possible, use the TimeZoneInfo::StandardName property.

The following example references and displays the StandardName property of the current time zone.

// Example of selected TimeZone class elements.
using namespace System;
using namespace System::Globalization;
int main()
{
   String^ dataFmt = "{0,-30}{1}";
   String^ timeFmt = "{0,-30}{1:yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm}";
   Console::WriteLine( "This example of selected TimeZone class "
   "elements generates the following \n"
   "output, which varies depending on the "
   "time zone in which it is run.\n" );

   // Get the local time zone and the current local time and year.
   TimeZone^ localZone = TimeZone::CurrentTimeZone;
   DateTime currentDate = DateTime::Now;
   int currentYear = currentDate.Year;

   // Display the names for standard time and daylight saving 
   // time for the local time zone.
   Console::WriteLine( dataFmt, "Standard time name:", localZone->StandardName );
   Console::WriteLine( dataFmt, "Daylight saving time name:", localZone->DaylightName );

   // Display the current date and time and show if they occur 
   // in daylight saving time.
   Console::WriteLine( String::Concat( "\n", timeFmt ), "Current date and time:", currentDate );
   Console::WriteLine( dataFmt, "Daylight saving time?", localZone->IsDaylightSavingTime( currentDate ) );

   // Get the current Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and UTC 
   // offset.
   DateTime currentUTC = localZone->ToUniversalTime( currentDate );
   TimeSpan currentOffset = localZone->GetUtcOffset( currentDate );
   Console::WriteLine( timeFmt, "Coordinated Universal Time:", currentUTC );
   Console::WriteLine( dataFmt, "UTC offset:", currentOffset );

   // Get the DaylightTime object for the current year.
   DaylightTime^ daylight = localZone->GetDaylightChanges( currentYear );

   // Display the daylight saving time range for the current year.
   Console::WriteLine( "\nDaylight saving time for year {0}:", currentYear );
   Console::WriteLine( "{0:yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm} to "
   "{1:yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm}, delta: {2}", daylight->Start, daylight->End, daylight->Delta );
