This becomes a challenge when you factor in that the API always uses the EST timezone, but most users expect DateTime to be treated in their local Timezone. This function takes both the DateTime object and the parameter name, because the parameter name is the only clue as to whether this property should be treated as a Date or a full DateTime value. .INPUTS [DateTime] .OUTPUTS [string] .EXAMPLE $Element | ConvertTo-AtwsDate -ParameterName <ParameterName> Converts variable $Element with must contain a single DateTime value to a string representation of the Date or the DateTime, based on the parameter name. .NOTES NAME: ConvertTo-AtwsDate #> [cmdletbinding()] Param ( [Parameter( Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipeline = $true )] [DateTime] $DateTime ) begin { Write-Debug ('{0}: Input Value: {1}' -F $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name, $DateTime) } process { <# In memoria of superflouous code # Use local time for DateTime $OffsetSpan = (Get-TimeZone).BaseUtcOffset # Create the correct text string $Offset = '{0:00}:{1:00}' -F $OffsetSpan.Hours, $OffsetSpan.Minutes if ($OffsetSpan.Hours -ge 0) { $Offset = '+{0}' -F $Offset } $value = '{0}{1}' -F $(Get-Date $DateTime -Format s), $Offset #> $value = $DateTime.ToString('yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.ffffz') Write-Verbose ('{0}: Converting datetime to {1}' -F $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name, $value) } end { Write-Debug ('{0}: Output value: {1}' -F $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name, $value) return $value } } |
