BOOL InternetTimeToSystemTimeW(
  [in]  LPCWSTR    lpszTime,
  [out] SYSTEMTIME *pst,
  [in]  DWORD      dwReserved
);

Parameters

[in] lpszTime

Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the date/time to be converted.

[out] pst

Remarks

Note WinINet does not support server implementations. In addition, it should not be used from a service. For server implementations or services use Microsoft Windows HTTP Services (WinHTTP).

Note

The wininet.h header defines InternetTimeToSystemTime as an alias which automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors.
