Database Property (TimeZoneInformation)

In This Topic

This determines the time zone to be used for all conversions of date and time values from the database/dataprovider to the client's time zone (see also TimeZoneInformation.Client). This is particularly important for distributed applications such as server/client applications or web applications, where data sources, applications and clients may be located on different systems in different time zones.

Syntax

C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Public Property Database As TimeZoneInfo

public TimeZoneInfo Database {get; set;}

public:
property TimeZoneInfo^ Database {
   TimeZoneInfo^ get();
   void set (    TimeZoneInfo^ value);
}

Remarks

The values for the possible time zones can be determined in the Windows registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones or with the help of System.TimeZoneInfo.GetSystemTimeZones();.

Note: Values from the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) are not supported; only values/IDs from Microsoft Windows time zones are supported.
