TimeZoneInfo.GetUtcOffset Method (DateTimeOffset)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Calculates the offset or difference between the time in this time zone and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) for a particular date and time.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function GetUtcOffset ( _
    dateTimeOffset As DateTimeOffset _
) As TimeSpan

public TimeSpan GetUtcOffset(
    DateTimeOffset dateTimeOffset
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.TimeSpan
A TimeSpan object that indicates the time difference between Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and the current time zone.

Remarks

The returned time span includes any differences due to the application of adjustment rules to the current time zone. It differs from the BaseUtcOffset property, which returns the difference between Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and the time zone's standard time and, therefore, does not take adjustment rules into account.
