DateTimeOffset Constructor (Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, TimeSpan)

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

Updated: August 2009

Initializes a new instance of the DateTimeOffset structure using the specified year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and offset.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub New ( _
    year As Integer, _
    month As Integer, _
    day As Integer, _
    hour As Integer, _
    minute As Integer, _
    second As Integer, _
    offset As TimeSpan _
)
public DateTimeOffset(
    int year,
    int month,
    int day,
    int hour,
    int minute,
    int second,
    TimeSpan offset
)

Parameters

  • day
    Type: System.Int32
    The day (1 through the number of days in month).
  • offset
    Type: System.TimeSpan
    The time's offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentException

offset does not represent whole minutes.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

year is less than one or greater than 9999.

-or-

month is less than one or greater than 12.

-or-

day is less than one or greater than the number of days in month.

-or-

hour is less than zero or greater than 23.

-or-

minute is less than 0 or greater than 59.

-or-

second is less than 0 or greater than 59.

-or-

offset is less than -14 hours or greater than 14 hours.

-or-

The UtcDateTime property is earlier than MinValue or later than MaxValue.

Remarks

This constructor interprets year, month, and day as a year, month, and day in the Gregorian calendar. To instantiate a DateTimeOffset value by using the year, month, and day in another calendar, call the DateTimeOffset(Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Calendar, TimeSpan) constructor.

Examples

The following example instantiates a DateTimeOffset object by using the DateTimeOffset.DateTimeOffset(Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, TimeSpan) constructor overload.

Dim specificDate As Date = #5/1/2008 6:32:00 AM#
Dim offsetDate As New DateTimeOffset(specificDate.Year, _
                                     specificDate.Month, _
                                     specificDate.Day, _
                                     specificDate.Hour, _
                                     specificDate.Minute, _
                                     specificDate.Second, _
                                     New TimeSpan(-5, 0, 0))
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("Current time: {0}", offsetDate) & vbCrLf
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("Corresponding UTC time: {0}", offsetDate.UtcDateTime) & vbCrLf
' The code produces the following output:
'    Current time: 5/1/2008 6:32:00 AM -05:00
'    Corresponding UTC time: 5/1/2008 11:32:00 AM      
DateTime specificDate = new DateTime(2008, 5, 1, 06, 32, 00);
DateTimeOffset offsetDate = new DateTimeOffset(specificDate.Year,
                                specificDate.Month,
                                specificDate.Day,
                                specificDate.Hour,
                                specificDate.Minute,
                                specificDate.Second,
                                new TimeSpan(-5, 0, 0));
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Current time: {0}", offsetDate) + "\n";
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Corresponding UTC time: {0}", offsetDate.UtcDateTime) + "\n";
// The code produces the following output:
//    Current time: 5/1/2008 6:32:00 AM -05:00
//    Corresponding UTC time: 5/1/2008 11:32:00 AM
