Availability net35-Client

Namespace: NodaTime

Assembly: NodaTime.dll

Syntax

public interface IClock

Remarks

IClock is intended for use anywhere you need to have access to the current time. Although it's not strictly incorrect to call SystemClock.Instance.Now directly, in the same way as you might call System.DateTime.UtcNow, it's strongly discouraged as a matter of style for production code. We recommend providing an instance of IClock to anything that needs it, which allows you to write tests using the stub clock in the NodaTime.Testing assembly (or your own implementation).
