Syntax

public sealed class TimeZoneFactory : IDisposable, 
	ITimeZoneFactory

The TimeZoneFactory type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	TimeZoneFactory	Creates a new instance of TimeZoneFactory.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Count	Gets the number of time zone rules currently loaded in the TimeZoneFactory.
	Initialized	Gets or sets an indication of whether the TimeZoneFactory has been initialized.
	ThrowOnFailure	If True (default), causes the class to throw an exception if the data cannot be parsed.
	ZoneNames	Gets the list of zone names that the TimeZoneFactory has knowledge of.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Clear	Clears the cache of all time zone information.
	Contains	Gets an indication of whether the TimeZoneFactory contains a specific IdtTimeZone.
	DefaultTimeZone	Gets the default time zone for the application
	Dispose	Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources.
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
	Finalize	Finalizer. Releases resources. (Overrides ObjectFinalize)
	Find	Gets a IdtTimeZone from the cache.
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
	Initialize	Initializes the factory
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)

Fields

	Name	Description
	DefaultTimeZoneNameSettingKey	Gets the name of the application setting containing the name of the default time zone to use in the application.
	DummyChangeRuleName	Gets the symbol indicating that a TimeChangeRule is not required to determine how a TimeZoneRule works for a particular date range.
	ThrowOnFailureSettingKey	Gets the name of the application setting containing an indication of the default ThrowOnFailure behavior.

Remarks

The TimeZoneFactory expects two configuration settings:

Key	Description
timeZoneSettings:DefaultTimeZoneHomeZone	The IANA identifier of your default time zone. Note that this time zone must be defined in the data that you read into the class.
timeZoneSettings:throwOnLoadFailure	(Optional; default true) Throws an InvalidTimeZoneException if there is an error parsing time zone data

Here is a typical configuration section in appSettings.json:

{
    "timeZoneSettings": {
    "defaultTimeZoneHomeZone": "America/Chicago",
    "throwOnLoadFailure": "false"
  }
}
