Remarks
If a time zone does not support daylight-saving time (SupportsDST is FALSE), all subsequent values in the table are undefined.
The change between standard time and daylight-saving time is absolute if it falls on a particular date (such as April 5), and relative if it falls on a particular day (such as the first Sunday in April). The method used to find the times and dates of the changes depends on whether IsStandardAbsoluteDate and IsDaylightAbsoluteDate are TRUE or FALSE.
If IsStandardAbsoluteDate or IsDaylightAbsoluteDate is TRUE the date is absolute.
- To find when a time zone changes from standard time to daylight-saving time, get DaylightDate and discard the year value.
- To find when a time zone changes from daylight-saving time to standard time, get StandardDate and discard the year value.
If IsStandardAbsoluteDate or IsDaylightAbsoluteDate is FALSE, the date is relative.
- To find the day a time zone changes from standard time to daylight-saving time, get DaylightDayOfWeekMask for the day, DaylightInstance for the week, and DaylightMonthOfYear for the month. To find the time for the change, get DaylightDate and discard everything but the hours, minutes, and seconds.
- To find the day a time zone changes from daylight-saving time to standard time, get StandardDayOfWeekMask for the day, StandardInstance for the week, and StandardMonthOfYear **** for the month. To find the time for the change, get StandardDate and discard everything but the hours, minutes, and seconds.
