Working with time zones

In the code example about the King’s coronation, using a TimeOnly was not actually a good idea because the time-only value does not include information about time zone. It is only useful if you are in the correct time zone. TimeOnly is therefore a poor choice for an event. For events, we need to understand and handle time zones.

Understanding DateTime and TimeZoneInfo

The DateTime class has many useful members related to time zones, as shown in the following table:

...

Member

Description

Now property

A DateTime value that represents the current date and time in the local time zone

UtcNow property

A DateTime value that represents the current date and time in the UTC time zone
