# Kernel - NKS0024

This analyzer provides the following strings:

<table><thead><tr><th width="174">Context</th><th>String</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Error List</td><td>Caller uses <code>TimeZoneInfo.Local</code> instead of <code>TimeZones.GetCurrentZoneInfo()</code></td></tr><tr><td>Suggestion Box</td><td>Use <code>TimeZones.GetCurrentZoneInfo()</code> instead of <code>TimeZoneInfo.Local</code></td></tr><tr><td>Description</td><td><code>TimeZones.GetCurrentZoneInfo()</code> gets your local time zone and respects your kernel settings based on that. It either gets your local time zone from your system or from your kernel configuration.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## <mark style="color:$primary;">Extended Description</mark>

This code analyzer detects the usage of `Local` from the standard `TimeZoneInfo` class found in the `System` namespace.

`TimeZoneInfo.Local` gives you a `TimeZoneInfo` instance containing information about your computer's current timezone. However, the kernel has been given a brand new feature that allows you to choose your custom timezone without affecting the host system.

As a result, you should use `TimeZones.GetCurrentZoneInfo()` as it respects your kernel settings regarding the timezone.
