TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(DateTime, TimeZoneInfo) Method

public:
 static DateTime ConvertTimeFromUtc(DateTime dateTime, TimeZoneInfo ^ destinationTimeZone);

public static DateTime ConvertTimeFromUtc(DateTime dateTime, TimeZoneInfo destinationTimeZone);

static member ConvertTimeFromUtc : DateTime * TimeZoneInfo -> DateTime

Public Shared Function ConvertTimeFromUtc (dateTime As DateTime, destinationTimeZone As TimeZoneInfo) As DateTime

Parameters

Returns

The date and time in the destination time zone. Its Kind property is Utc if destinationTimeZone is Utc; otherwise, its Kind property is Unspecified.

Exceptions

Examples

The following example converts Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to Central Time.

DateTime timeUtc = DateTime.UtcNow;
try
{
 TimeZoneInfo cstZone = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("Central Standard Time");
 DateTime cstTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(timeUtc, cstZone);
 Console.WriteLine("The date and time are {0} {1}.", 
 cstTime, 
 cstZone.IsDaylightSavingTime(cstTime) ?
 cstZone.DaylightName : cstZone.StandardName);
}
catch (TimeZoneNotFoundException)
{
 Console.WriteLine("The registry does not define the Central Standard Time zone.");
} 
catch (InvalidTimeZoneException)
{
 Console.WriteLine("Registry data on the Central Standard Time zone has been corrupted.");
}

let timeUtc = DateTime.UtcNow
try
 let cstZone = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById "Central Standard Time"
 let cstTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(timeUtc, cstZone)
 printfn $"The date and time are {cstTime} {if cstZone.IsDaylightSavingTime cstTime then cstZone.DaylightName else cstZone.StandardName}."
with
| :? TimeZoneNotFoundException ->
 printfn "The registry does not define the Central Standard Time zone."
| :? InvalidTimeZoneException ->
 printfn "Registry data on the Central Standard Time zone has been corrupted."

Dim timeUtc As Date = Date.UtcNow
Try
 Dim cstZone As TimeZoneInfo = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("Central Standard Time")
 Dim cstTime As Date = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(timeUtc, cstZone)
 Console.WriteLine("The date and time are {0} {1}.", _
 cstTime, _
 IIf(cstZone.IsDaylightSavingTime(cstTime), _
 cstZone.DaylightName, cstZone.StandardName))
Catch e As TimeZoneNotFoundException
 Console.WriteLine("The registry does not define the Central Standard Time zone.")
Catch e As InvalidTimeZoneException
 Console.WriteLine("Registry data on the Central Standard Time zone has been corrupted.")
End Try

Remarks

When performing the conversion, the ConvertTimeFromUtc method applies any adjustment rules in effect in the destinationTimeZone time zone.

The precise behavior of this method depends on the value of the Kind property of the dateTime parameter, as the following table shows.

If the conversion of dateTime results in a date and time value that is earlier than DateTime.MinValue or later than DateTime.MaxValue, this method returns DateTime.MinValue or DateTime.MaxValue, respectively.
