JsonValueExtensionsTryGetDateTime(JsonValue, DateTime, NullableDateTimeKind, JsonValueType) Method

Tries to get the specified JsonValue as a DateTime value if expectedType is Undefined or matches the Type property of the specified json parameter. The actual format is attempted to be auto detected. If you know exact format use the other TryGetDateTime overloads.

Definition

Namespace: KGySoft.Json
Assembly: KGySoft.Json (in KGySoft.Json.dll) Version: 3.0.0
C#
public static bool TryGetDateTime(
	this JsonValue json,
	out DateTime value,
	DateTimeKind? desiredKind = null,
	JsonValueType expectedType = JsonValueType.Undefined
)

Parameters

desiredKind  NullableDateTimeKind  (Optional)
The desired value of the Kind property of the returned value, or to preserve the one that could be retrieved from the JsonValue. Converting between Utc and Local affects the actual time value, while changing to or from Unspecified just changes the Kind property without converting the value. This parameter is optional.
Default value: .
expectedType  JsonValueType  (Optional)
The expected Type of the specified json parameter, or Undefined to allow any type. This parameter is optional.
Default value: Undefined.

Return Value

Boolean

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type JsonValue. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).
