This static type conversion operator converts the supplied string value to an OracleTimeStampTZ structure.

Declaration

// C#
public static explicit operator OracleTimeStampTZ(string tsStr);

Parameters

• tsStr

  A string representation of an Oracle TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE.

Return Value

An OracleTimeStampTZ value.

Exceptions

ArgumentException - The tsStr is an invalid string representation of an Oracle TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE. or the tsStr is not in the timestamp format specified by the thread's OracleGlobalization.TimeStampTZFormat property, which represents the Oracle NLS_TIMESTAMP_TZ_FORMAT parameter.

Remarks

Example

// C#
 
using System;
using Oracle.DataAccess.Client;
using Oracle.DataAccess.Types;
 
class OracleTimeStampTZSample
{
  static void Main()
  {
    // Set the nls_timestamp_tz_format for the explicit operator
    // OracleTimeStampTZ(string)
    OracleGlobalization info = OracleGlobalization.GetClientInfo();
    info.TimeStampTZFormat = "DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS.FF AM TZR";
    OracleGlobalization.SetThreadInfo(info);
    
    // construct OracleTimeStampTZ from a string using the format specified.
    OracleTimeStampTZ tstz = new OracleTimeStampTZ("11-NOV-1999" +
      "11:02:33.444 AM US/Pacific");
      
    // Set the nls_timestamp_tz_format for the ToString() method
    info.TimeStampTZFormat = "YYYY-MON-DD HH:MI:SS.FF AM TZR";
    OracleGlobalization.SetThreadInfo(info);
    Console.WriteLine(tstz.ToString());
