 | AmbiguousTimeException(ZonedDateTime, ZonedDateTime) |
Constructs an instance from the given information.
|
 | EarlierMapping |
The earlier of the two occurrences of the local date and time within the time zone.
|
| LaterMapping |
The later of the two occurrences of the local date and time within the time zone.
|
| Zone |
The time zone in which the local date and time is ambiguous.
|
RemarksThis occurs for transitions where the clock goes backward (usually by an hour). For example, suppose the time zone goes backward at 2am, so the second after 01:59:59 becomes 01:00:00. In that case, times such as 01:30:00 occur twice.
This exception is used to indicate such problems, as they're usually not the same as other ArgumentOutOfRangeException causes, such as entering "15" for a month number.
In theory this isn't calendar-specific; the local value will be ambiguous in this time zone regardless of the calendar used. However, this exception is always created in conjunction with a specific calendar, which leads to a more natural way of examining its information and constructing an error message.
