Methods starting "Parse" are for parsing the Discovery format to a .NET type.
Methods starting "Format" are for formatting .NET types to Discovery formats.
This class does not provide methods for DateTime and object
conversions; properties with a type of DateTime or object are marked as obsolete in the generated code,
and have legacy behavior which cannot reasonably be changed for backward compatibility reasons.
Methods
FormatDateTimeOffsetToDateTime(DateTimeOffset?)
public static string FormatDateTimeOffsetToDateTime(DateTimeOffset? value)
Formats a DateTime value appropriately for a Discovery "date-time" value.
This does not automatically convert the given value to UTC; some services require values
to be presented in UTC, in which case user code should ensure that only UTC values are
specified.
public static DateTimeOffset? ParseDateTimeToDateTimeOffset(string value)
Parses a Discovery "date-time" format value to DateTimeOffset.
The value must start in the format "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss", with optional milliseconds,
microseconds and nanoseconds. A UTC offset may be provided with up to second precision
(e.g. +01, -02:30, +03:45:12), or "Z" for UTC. If nanosecond precision is provided,
the value is truncated to .NET "tick" precision (100ns). If the UTC offset has a non-zero
seconds component, a value is returned which preserves the instant in time, but truncates
the UTC offset to the minute.
public static DateTimeOffset? ParseGoogleDateTimeToDateTimeOffset(string value)
Parses a Discovery "google-datetime" format value to DateTimeOffset.
The value must start in the format "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss", with optional milliseconds,
microseconds and nanoseconds, and a trailing 'Z' to indicate UTC.
