Struct Offset

An offset from UTC in seconds. A positive value means that the local time is ahead of UTC (e.g. for Europe); a negative value means that the local time is behind UTC (e.g. for America).

public readonly struct Offset : IEquatable<Offset>, IComparable<Offset>, IFormattable, IComparable, IXmlSerializable, IAdditionOperators<Offset, Offset, Offset>, ISubtractionOperators<Offset, Offset, Offset>, IUnaryNegationOperators<Offset, Offset>, IUnaryPlusOperators<Offset, Offset>, IComparisonOperators<Offset, Offset, bool>, IEqualityOperators<Offset, Offset, bool>, IMinMaxValue<Offset>, IAdditiveIdentity<Offset, Offset>
Remarks

Offsets are always in the range of [-18, +18] hours. (Note that the ends are inclusive, so an offset of 18 hours can be represented, but an offset of 18 hours and one second cannot.) This allows all offsets within TZDB to be represented. The BCL DateTimeOffset type only allows offsets up to 14 hours, which means some historical data within TZDB could not be represented.

Offsets are represented with a granularity of one second. This allows all offsets within TZDB to be represented. It is possible that it could present issues to some other time zone data sources, but only in very rare historical cases (or fictional ones).

Equality and ordering are defined in the natural way by comparing the underlying number of seconds. For example, this means that offsets for America are ordered before offsets in Europe.

The default value of this type is Zero.
