DateTimeOffset Support in Compact Framework 3.5

Does anyone know if the data type "DateTimeOffset" is supported in the .NET Compact Framework 3.5?

Solution

  • No, it's not. Can you tell us what your usage scenario is and maybe we can suggest a workaround? My guess is you can create your own class something like this that would probably work:

    class MyDateTimeOffset
{
    public DateTime UTCTime { get; set; }
    public int BiasInMinutes { get; set; }

    public DateTime AsLocalTime()
    {
        var localBias = (DateTime.Now - DateTime.UtcNow).TotalMinutes;

        return UTCTime.AddMinutes(BiasInMinutes - localBias);
    }
}
