Calendar.GetDateTime Method

Definition

Namespace:

Windows.Globalization

Builds a date and time, given the components of this Calendar object.

public:
 virtual DateTime GetDateTime() = GetDateTime;

DateTime GetDateTime();

public System.DateTimeOffset GetDateTime();

function getDateTime()

Public Function GetDateTime () As DateTimeOffset

Returns

DateTime DateTimeOffset

The DateTime representing the date and time of this Calendar.

Remarks

If you're using a .NET language (for example, C#, or Visual Basic), then use the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time zone with a Calendar object if you wish to follow this set of steps.

• Call either SetToMin or SetToMax, and then
• Call GetDateTime to convert the Calendar to a .NET System.DateTime struct.

If you don't use the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time zone, then GetDateTime will throw an exception because the computed number of ticks will under- or overflow due to the timezone offset.
