DateTime.ToUniversalTime() Method in C#

The DateTime.ToUniversalTime() method in C# is used to convert the value of the current DateTime object to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

Syntax

Following is the syntax −

public DateTime ToUniversalTime ();

Example

Let us now see an example to implement the DateTime.ToUniversalTime() method −

using System;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main() {
      DateTime d = new DateTime(2019, 12, 11, 7, 11, 25);
      Console.WriteLine("Date = {0}", d);
      DateTime res = d.ToUniversalTime();
      Console.WriteLine("String representation = {0}", res);
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following output −

Date = 11/11/2019 7:11:25 AM
String representation = 11/11/2019 7:11:25 AM

Example

Let us now see another example to implement the DateTime.ToUniversalTime() method −

using System;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main() {
      DateTime localDate, universalDate;
      String str = "11/11/2019 4:10:55";
      localDate = DateTime.Parse(str);
      universalDate = localDate.ToUniversalTime();
      Console.WriteLine("Local time = {0} ", localDate);
      Console.WriteLine("Universal time = {0} ", universalDate);
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following output −

Local time = 11/11/2019 4:10:55 AM
Universal time = 11/11/2019 4:10:55 AM
