Remarks

If a time zone does not support daylight-saving time ( SupportsDSTis 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 IsStandardAbsoluteDateand IsDaylightAbsoluteDateare TRUEor FALSE.

If IsStandardAbsoluteDateor IsDaylightAbsoluteDateis TRUE, then the date is absolute.

To find when a time zone changes from standard time to daylight-saving time, get DaylightDateand discard the year value.
To find when a time zone changes from daylight-saving time to standard time, get StandardDateand discard the year value.

If IsStandardAbsoluteDateor IsDaylightAbsoluteDateis FALSE, then the date is relative.

To find the day a time zone changes from standard time to daylight-saving time, get DaylightDayOfWeekMaskfor the day, DaylightInstancefor the week, and DaylightMonthOfYearfor the month. To find the time for the change, get DaylightDateand discard everything but the hours, minutes, and seconds.
