Class DateTimeZoneProviders

Static access to date/time zone providers built into Noda Time and for global configuration where this is unavoidable. All properties are thread-safe, and the providers returned by the read-only properties cache their results.

Syntax

public static class DateTimeZoneProviders

Properties

Bcl

Gets a time zone provider which uses a BclDateTimeZoneSource. This property is not available on the PCL build of Noda Time.

Since 1.0.x

Availability net45

Declaration

public static IDateTimeZoneProvider Bcl { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
IDateTimeZoneProvider	A time zone provider which uses a BclDateTimeZoneSource.

Remarks

See note on BclDateTimeZone for details of some incompatibilities with the BCL.

Serialization

Gets the IDateTimeZoneProvider to use to interpret a time zone ID read as part of XML or binary serialization.

Since 1.2.x

Availability net45, netstandard1.3

Declaration

public static IDateTimeZoneProvider Serialization { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
IDateTimeZoneProvider	The IDateTimeZoneProvider to use to interpret a time zone ID read as part of XML or binary serialization. (The value returned is never null.)

Remarks

This property defaults to Tzdb. The mere existence of this property is unfortunate, but XML and binary serialization in .NET provide no simple way of configuring appropriate context. It is expected that any single application is unlikely to want to serialize ZonedDateTime values using different time zone providers.

Tzdb

Gets a time zone provider which uses a TzdbDateTimeZoneSource. The underlying source is Default, which is initialized from resources within the NodaTime assembly.

Since 1.0.x

Availability net45, netstandard1.3

Declaration

public static IDateTimeZoneProvider Tzdb { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
IDateTimeZoneProvider	A time zone provider using a TzdbDateTimeZoneSource.
