C# DateTimeOffset DateTimeOffset(Int64, TimeSpan)

Description

DateTimeOffset DateTimeOffset(Int64, TimeSpan) initializes a new instance of the DateTimeOffset structure using the specified number of ticks and offset.

Syntax

DateTimeOffset.DateTimeOffset(Int64, TimeSpan) has the following syntax.

public DateTimeOffset(
  long ticks,
  TimeSpan offset
)

Parameters

DateTimeOffset.DateTimeOffset(Int64, TimeSpan) has the following parameters.

• ticks - A date and time expressed as the number of 100-nanosecond intervals that have elapsed since 12:00:00 midnight on January 1, 0001.
• offset - The time's offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

Example

The following example uses the local time's number of ticks to instantiate a DateTimeOffset value whose offset does not necessarily represent that of the local time:

using System;//from  ww  w  . j  a v  a2s.com

public class MainClass{
  public static void Main(String[] argv){  
    DateTime localTime = DateTime.Now;
    DateTimeOffset nonLocalDateWithOffset = new DateTimeOffset(localTime.Ticks, 
                                      new TimeSpan(2, 0, 0));
    Console.WriteLine(nonLocalDateWithOffset); 
    
    DateTime dateWithoutOffset = new DateTime(2014, 6, 16, 13, 32, 00);
    DateTimeOffset timeFromTicks = new DateTimeOffset(dateWithoutOffset.Ticks, 
                                   new TimeSpan(-5, 0, 0));
    Console.WriteLine(timeFromTicks.ToString());
  }
}

The code above generates the following result.
