TimeZoneBuilderAdd(String, ActionParameterSection, FuncVCard, String) Method

Adds a TimeZoneProperty instance, which is newly initialized using the specified String, which represents an identifier from the "IANA Time Zone Database", to the TimeZones property. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones .)

Definition

Namespace: FolkerKinzel.VCards.BuilderParts
Assembly: FolkerKinzel.VCards (in FolkerKinzel.VCards.dll) Version: 8.0.1+a91cc3f0fd39aeb548e16006a60ca9dd10a304a2
C#
public VCardBuilder Add(
	string value,
	Action<ParameterSection>? parameters = null,
	Func<VCard, string?>? group = null
)

Parameters

value  String
A String that represents an identifier from the "IANA Time Zone Database".
parameters  ActionParameterSection  (Optional)
An ActionT delegate that's invoked with the ParameterSection of the newly created VCardProperty as argument.
group  FuncVCard, String  (Optional)
A function that returns the identifier of the group of VCardProperty objects, which the VCardProperty should belong to, or null to indicate that the VCardProperty does not belong to any group. The function is called with the VCard instance as argument.

Return Value

VCardBuilder
The VCardBuilder instance that initialized this TimeZoneBuilder to be able to chain calls.

Remarks

This method initializes a new TimeZoneID instance. Use the overload Add(TimeZoneID, ActionParameterSection, FuncVCard, String) to reuse an existing one.
