ExtendedIso
Gets an invariant offset date/time pattern based on ISO-8601 (down to the nanosecond), including offset from UTC.
Since 1.4.x
Availability net6.0, net8.0, netstandard2.0
Declaration
public static OffsetDateTimePattern ExtendedIso { get; }Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| OffsetDateTimePattern | An invariant offset date/time pattern based on ISO-8601 (down to the nanosecond), including offset from UTC. |
Remarks
The calendar system is not parsed or formatted as part of this pattern. It corresponds to a custom pattern of
"uuuu'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss;FFFFFFFFFo<G>". This will round-trip any values
in the ISO calendar, and is available as the "o" standard pattern.
FullRoundtrip
Gets an invariant offset date/time pattern based on ISO-8601 (down to the nanosecond)
including offset from UTC and calendar ID.
Since 1.4.x
Availability net6.0, net8.0, netstandard2.0
Declaration
public static OffsetDateTimePattern FullRoundtrip { get; }Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| OffsetDateTimePattern | An invariant offset date/time pattern based on ISO-8601 (down to the nanosecond) including offset from UTC and calendar ID. |
Remarks
The returned pattern corresponds to a custom pattern of
"uuuu'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss;FFFFFFFFFo<G> '('c')'". This will round-trip any value in any calendar,
and is available as the "r" standard pattern.
GeneralIso
Gets an invariant offset date/time pattern based on ISO-8601 (down to the second), including offset from UTC.
Since 1.4.x
Availability net6.0, net8.0, netstandard2.0
Declaration
public static OffsetDateTimePattern GeneralIso { get; }Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| OffsetDateTimePattern | An invariant offset date/time pattern based on ISO-8601 (down to the second), including offset from UTC. |
Remarks
The calendar system is not parsed or formatted as part of this pattern. It corresponds to a custom pattern of
"uuuu'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'sso<G>". This pattern is available as the "G"
standard pattern (even though it is invariant).
PatternText
Gets the pattern text for this pattern, as supplied on creation.
Since 1.2.x
Availability net6.0, net8.0, netstandard2.0
Declaration
public string PatternText { get; }Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| string | The pattern text for this pattern, as supplied on creation. |
Rfc3339
Gets an invariant offset date/time pattern based on RFC 3339 (down to the nanosecond), including offset from UTC
as hours and minutes only.
Since 1.4.x
Availability net6.0, net8.0, netstandard2.0
Declaration
public static OffsetDateTimePattern Rfc3339 { get; }Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| OffsetDateTimePattern | An invariant offset date/time pattern based on RFC 3339 (down to the nanosecond), including offset from UTC as hours and minutes only. |
Remarks
The minutes part of the offset is always included, but any sub-minute component
of the offset is lost. An offset of zero is formatted as 'Z', but all of 'Z', '+00:00' and '-00:00' are parsed
the same way. The RFC 3339 meaning of '-00:00' is not supported by Noda Time.
Note that parsing is case-sensitive (so 'T' and 'Z' must be upper case).
The calendar system is not parsed or formatted as part of this pattern. It corresponds to a custom pattern of
"uuuu'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss;FFFFFFFFFo<Z+HH:mm>".
TemplateValue
Gets the value used as a template for parsing: any field values unspecified
in the pattern are taken from the template.
Since 1.2.x
Availability net6.0, net8.0, netstandard2.0
Declaration
public OffsetDateTime TemplateValue { get; }Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| OffsetDateTime | The value used as a template for parsing. |
TwoDigitYearMax
Maximum two-digit-year in the template to treat as the current century.
If the value parsed is higher than this, the result is adjusted to the previous century.
This value defaults to 30. To create a pattern with a different value, use WithTwoDigitYearMax(int).
Since 3.2.x
Availability net6.0, net8.0, netstandard2.0
Declaration
public int TwoDigitYearMax { get; }Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| int | The value used for the maximum two-digit-year, in the range 0-99 inclusive. |

is captured at the time this method is called - it is not captured at the point of parsing
or formatting values.

Since 1.3.x
Availability net6.0, net8.0, netstandard2.0
Declaration

Declaration
public string Format(OffsetDateTime value)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| OffsetDateTime | value | The offset date/time to format. |

| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| string | The offset date/time formatted according to this pattern. |
Parse(string)
Parses the given text value according to the rules of this pattern.
Since 1.2.x
Availability net6.0, net8.0, netstandard2.0
Declaration
public ParseResult<OffsetDateTime> Parse(string text)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| string | text | The text value to parse. |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| ParseResult<OffsetDateTime> | 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.

|---|---|---|
| CalendarSystem | calendar | The calendar system to convert the template value into. |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| OffsetDateTimePattern | 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.
