Using a DateTime Type Results in a UTC Return. #157

Closed maxmin88 closed 4 years ago

maxmin88 commented 4 years ago

When I save a local DateTime to a DateTime setting it always returns a UTC time. On all my retrievals of a DateTime Setting I have to add .ToLocalTime() to get my local time back

Bug Information

Version Number of Plugin: 3.1.1 Device Tested On: OnePlus 6T Simulator Tested On: Version of VS: 16.3.4 Version of Xamarin: Forms 4.2.0.815419 Versions of other things you are using:

Steps to reproduce the Behavior

Settings.LastDateRetrieval = DateTime.Now; var datetime = Settings.LastDateRetrieval; //returns UTC time

Expected Behavior

expect it to return the DateTime value I put in

Actual Behavior

returns UTC time

Code snippet

public static class Settings { private static Plugin.Settings.Abstractions.ISettings AppSettings => Plugin.Settings.CrossSettings.Current; public static DateTime LastDateRetrieval { get { return AppSettings.GetValueOrDefault(nameof(LastDateRetrieval), DateTime.MinValue); } set { AppSettings.AddOrUpdateValue(nameof(LastDateRetrieval), value); } } }

Settings.LastDateRetrieval = DateTime.Now; var datetime = Settings.LastDateRetrieval; //returns UTC time

Yes, this is by design.

That wouldn’t be my preference. But thanks for the reply.
