Syntax

[Serializable]
public sealed class AmbiguousTimeException : ArgumentOutOfRangeException, _Exception, ISerializable

Remarks

This occurs for transitions where the clock goes backward (usually by an hour). For example, suppose the time zone goes backward at 2am, so the second after 01:59:59 becomes 01:00:00. In that case, times such as 01:30:00 occur twice.

This exception is used to indicate such problems, as they're usually not the same as other System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException causes, such as entering "15" for a month number.

In theory this isn't calendar-specific; the local value will be ambiguous in this time zone regardless of the calendar used. However, this exception is always created in conjunction with a specific calendar, which leads to a more natural way of examining its information and constructing an error message.

Constructors

AmbiguousTimeException(ZonedDateTime, ZonedDateTime)

Constructs an instance from the given information.

Since 1.0.x

Availability net45, netstandard1.3

Declaration

public AmbiguousTimeException(ZonedDateTime earlierMapping, ZonedDateTime laterMapping)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ZonedDateTime	earlierMapping	The earlier possible mapping
ZonedDateTime	laterMapping	The later possible mapping

Remarks

User code is unlikely to need to deliberately call this constructor except possibly for testing.

The two mappings must have the same local time and time zone.

Properties

EarlierMapping

Gets the earlier of the two occurrences of the local date and time within the time zone.

Since 1.0.x

Availability net45, netstandard1.3

Declaration

public ZonedDateTime EarlierMapping { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
ZonedDateTime	The earlier of the two occurrences of the local date and time within the time zone.

LaterMapping

Gets the later of the two occurrences of the local date and time within the time zone.

Since 1.0.x

Availability net45, netstandard1.3

Declaration

public ZonedDateTime LaterMapping { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
ZonedDateTime	The later of the two occurrences of the local date and time within the time zone.

Zone

The time zone in which the local date and time is ambiguous.

Since 1.0.x

Availability net45, netstandard1.3

Declaration

public DateTimeZone Zone { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
DateTimeZone	The time zone in which the local date and time is ambiguous. (The value returned is never null.)
