Date/Time Tools

Manage your date and time

The VcardCommonTools class contains date and time parsers that allow you to parse an ISO-8601:2004 date and time format from a string to a DateTimeOffset that provides information about the parsed date and time. It also contains tools that allow you to save date and time back to an ISO-8601:2004 formatted string.

The following functions are available:

• ParsePosixDate(): Parses a date representation

• TryParsePosixDate(): Parses a date representation (boolean/out version)

• ParsePosixTime(): Parses a time representation

• TryParsePosixTime(): Parses a time representation (boolean/out version)

• ParsePosixDateTime(): Parses a date/time representation

• TryParsePosixDateTime(): Parses a date/time representation (boolean/out version)

• ParsePosixTimestamp(): Parses a timestamp representation

• TryParsePosixTimestamp(): Parses a timestamp representation (boolean/out version)

For UTC offsets, you can parse a UTC offset from a string that is formatted with a basic or an extended ISO-8601 UTC offset prefixed with either a plus or a minus sign to a TimeSpan instance. You can also save them back to the formatted string.

The following functions are available:

• ParseUtcOffset()

• SaveUtcOffset()
