Exceptions

There is insufficient memory to store all time zone information.

The user does not have permission to read from the registry keys that contain time zone information.

Examples

The following example retrieves a collection of time zone objects that represent the time zones defined on a computer and writes information about them to a text file.

Remarks

The GetSystemTimeZones method retrieves all available time zone information from the subkeys of the registry's HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones key on Windows systems and from the ICU Library on Linux and macOS. If it is unable to successfully retrieve and parse values for particular string properties of individual TimeZoneInfo objects, this method sets their value to an empty string ("").

Important

The GetSystemTimeZones method returns a collection of TimeZoneInfo objects only for time zones defined in the Windows registry or the ICU library. It does not include time zones created using the overloads of the CreateCustomTimeZone method. These are accessible only through the object reference returned by the time zone creation method.

The collection returned by this method is sorted by UTC offset and, for time zones that have the same UTC offset, by the display name using the current culture. For information about the display name, see DisplayName.

The ReadOnlyCollection<T> object returned by this method supports the IEnumerable<T> interface, which means that it can be iterated using the foreach (in C#) or For Each…Next (in Visual Basic) statements. Each iteration of the loop provides the next TimeZoneInfo object in the collection.

The collection of TimeZoneInfo objects represents time zones defined on the local computer; it does not necessarily provide complete information for all time zones during all time periods. If your application requires time zones not found on the local computer, you can create custom time zones using the overloads of the CreateCustomTimeZone method. For more information, see How to: Create Time Zones Without Adjustment Rules and How to: Create Time Zones with Adjustment Rules.

You can also determine whether an individual time zone is defined on the local computer by calling the FindSystemTimeZoneById method and providing the identifier of the time zone you want to retrieve as a parameter.

Public Shared Function GetSystemTimeZones (skipSorting As Boolean) As ReadOnlyCollection(Of TimeZoneInfo)

Parameters

skipSorting
Boolean

If true, The collection returned may not necessarily be sorted.

Returns

Remarks

By setting the skipSorting parameter to true, the method will attempt to avoid sorting the returned collection. This option can be beneficial when the caller does not require a sorted list and aims to enhance the performance.
