enum System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles

Assembly: System.Runtime

Defines the formatting options that customize string parsing for some date and time parsing methods.

Values

None

Default formatting options must be used. This value represents the default style for the <see cref="M:System.DateTime.Parse(System.String)" /> , <see cref="M:System.DateTime.ParseExact(System.String,System.String,System.IFormatProvider)" /> , and <see cref="M:System.DateTime.TryParse(System.String,System.DateTime@)" /> methods.

AllowLeadingWhite

Leading white-space characters must be ignored during parsing, except if they occur in the <see cref="T:System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo" /> format patterns.

AllowTrailingWhite

Trailing white-space characters must be ignored during parsing, except if they occur in the <see cref="T:System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo" /> format patterns.

AllowInnerWhite

Extra white-space characters in the middle of the string must be ignored during parsing, except if they occur in the <see cref="T:System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo" /> format patterns.

AllowWhiteSpaces

Extra white-space characters anywhere in the string must be ignored during parsing, except if they occur in the <see cref="T:System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo" /> format patterns. This value is a combination of the <see cref="F:System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.AllowLeadingWhite" /> , <see cref="F:System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.AllowTrailingWhite" /> , and <see cref="F:System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.AllowInnerWhite" /> values.

NoCurrentDateDefault

If the parsed string contains only the time and not the date, the parsing methods assume the Gregorian date with year = 1, month = 1, and day = 1. If this value is not used, the current date is assumed.

AdjustToUniversal

Date and time are returned as a Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). If the input string denotes a local time, through a time zone specifier or <see cref="F:System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.AssumeLocal" /> , the date and time are converted from the local time to UTC. If the input string denotes a UTC time, through a time zone specifier or <see cref="F:System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.AssumeUniversal" /> , no conversion occurs. If the input string does not denote a local or UTC time, no conversion occurs and the resulting <see cref="P:System.DateTime.Kind" /> property is <see cref="F:System.DateTimeKind.Unspecified" /> . This value cannot be used with <see cref="F:System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.RoundtripKind" /> .

AssumeLocal

If no time zone is specified in the parsed string, the string is assumed to denote a local time. This value cannot be used with <see cref="F:System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.AssumeUniversal" /> or <see cref="F:System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.RoundtripKind" /> .

AssumeUniversal

If no time zone is specified in the parsed string, the string is assumed to denote a UTC. This value cannot be used with <see cref="F:System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.AssumeLocal" /> or <see cref="F:System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.RoundtripKind" /> .

RoundtripKind

The <see cref="T:System.DateTimeKind" /> field of a date is preserved when a <see cref="T:System.DateTime" /> object is converted to a string using the "o" or "r" standard format specifier, and the string is then converted back to a <see cref="T:System.DateTime" /> object.
