Syntax
public sealed class ZonedDateTimePattern : IPattern<ZonedDateTime>Properties
ExtendedFormatOnlyIso
Returns an invariant zoned date/time pattern based on ISO-8601 (down to the nanosecond) including offset from UTC and zone ID.
It corresponds to a custom pattern of "uuuu'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss;FFFFFFFFF z '('o<g>')'" and is available
as the 'F' standard pattern.
Since 1.4.x
Availability net45, netstandard1.3
Declaration
public static ZonedDateTimePattern ExtendedFormatOnlyIso { get; }Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| ZonedDateTimePattern | An invariant zoned date/time pattern based on ISO-8601 (down to the nanosecond) including offset from UTC and zone ID. |
Remarks
The calendar system is not formatted as part of this pattern, and it cannot be used for parsing as no time zone
provider is included. Call WithZoneProvider(IDateTimeZoneProvider) on the value of this property to obtain a
pattern which can be used for parsing.
GeneralFormatOnlyIso
Gets an zoned local date/time pattern based on ISO-8601 (down to the second) including offset from UTC and zone ID.
It corresponds to a custom pattern of "uuuu'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss z '('o<g>')'" and is available
as the 'G' standard pattern.
Since 1.4.x
Availability net45, netstandard1.3
Declaration
public static ZonedDateTimePattern GeneralFormatOnlyIso { get; }Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| ZonedDateTimePattern | An zoned local date/time pattern based on ISO-8601 (down to the second) including offset from UTC and zone ID. |
Remarks
The calendar system is not formatted as part of this pattern, and it cannot be used for parsing as no time zone
provider is included. Call WithZoneProvider(IDateTimeZoneProvider) on the value of this property to obtain a
pattern which can be used for parsing.
PatternText
Gets the pattern text for this pattern, as supplied on creation.
Since 1.2.x
Availability net45, netstandard1.3
Declaration
public string PatternText { get; }Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| String | The pattern text for this pattern, as supplied on creation. |
Resolver
Gets the resolver which is used to map local date/times to zoned date/times,
handling skipped and ambiguous times appropriately (where the offset isn't specified in the pattern).
Since 1.2.x
Availability net45, netstandard1.3
Declaration
public ZoneLocalMappingResolver Resolver { get; }Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| ZoneLocalMappingResolver | The resolver which is used to map local date/times to zoned date/times. |
TemplateValue
Gets the value used as a template for parsing: any field values unspecified

Availability net45, netstandard1.3
Declaration
public ZonedDateTime TemplateValue { get; }Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| ZonedDateTime | The value used as a template for parsing. |
ZoneProvider

Availability net45, netstandard1.3
Declaration
public IDateTimeZoneProvider ZoneProvider { get; }Property Value
| Type | Description |

CreateWithCurrentCulture(String, IDateTimeZoneProvider)
Creates a pattern for the given pattern text and time zone provider, using a strict resolver, the current
culture, and a default template value of midnight January 1st 2000 UTC.

Remarks
The resolver is only used if the pattern text doesn't include an offset.

- it is not captured at the point of parsing or formatting values.
Exceptions
| Type | Condition |

| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| String | text | The text value to parse. |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| ParseResult<ZonedDateTime> | The result of parsing, which may be successful or unsuccessful. |
Remarks
This method never throws an exception (barring a bug in Noda Time itself). Even errors such as
the argument being null are wrapped in a parse result.
WithCalendar(CalendarSystem)
Creates a pattern like this one, but with the template value modified to use
the specified calendar system.
Since 2.0.x
Availability net45, netstandard1.3
Declaration
public ZonedDateTimePattern WithCalendar(CalendarSystem calendar)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CalendarSystem | calendar | The calendar system to convert the template value into. |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| ZonedDateTimePattern | A new pattern with a template value in the specified calendar system. |
Remarks
Care should be taken in two (relatively rare) scenarios. Although the default template value is supported by all Noda Time calendar systems, if a pattern is created with a different template value and then this method is called with a calendar system which doesn't support that date, an exception will be thrown. Additionally, if the pattern only specifies some date fields, it's possible that the new template value will not be suitable for all values.
