Class BclConversions

Conversion methods which don't naturally fit into any other types - for example, for enums which can't specify any other code. In most cases, conversions to and from BCL types are provided within the type itself - such as ToDateTimeUnspecified() and FromDateTime(DateTime).

Syntax

public static class BclConversions

Remarks

Many of the methods within this class could be expressed as extension methods - but currently Noda Time always builds against .NET 2. In a future version, there may be multiple build targets, allowing these to become extension methods for the builds which use .NET 3.5 and higher.

Methods

ToDayOfWeek(IsoDayOfWeek)

Converts from the Noda Time IsoDayOfWeek enum to the equivalent BCL System.DayOfWeek value. Other than Sunday, the BCL and ISO values are the same - but ISO 8601 defines Sunday as day 7, and the BCL defines it as day 0.
