Parameters

time

Type: SystemObject
Converts different types of objects, including PISDK.PITime objects, to AFTime. A will return an AFTime representing the current time.

defaultTime

Type: OSIsoft.AF.TimeAFTime
This parameter serves as the reference time to be used when the time parameter contain a relative string reference (e.g. "*", "Today", etc.) instead of using the current time. The server time can be used as a reference time by specifying PISystem.ServerTime, PIServer.ServerTime, or AFAttribute.ServerTime for this parameter. If the time parameter cannot be converted to a valid time, then the value of the new AFTime instance will be set to the time specified for this parameter.

provider

Type: SystemIFormatProvider

An object that supplies culture-specific formatting information about the time string parameters. The AFTimeZoneFormatProvider can be used to provide the AFTimeZone to be used when parsing. The AFLocaleIndependentFormatProvider can be used when parsing PI SDK locale independent time strings.

If or an AFTimeZoneFormatProvider is specified with the Provider as , then CurrentCulture will be used first when parsing the time strings. If the parsing fails in this case, then a second attempt is made to parse using InvariantCulture.
