Sitecore DateField's DateTime property shows wrong date

问题

In my Sitecore project I use DateTime(Sitecore's type) field as propery of an Item. I'm trying to get this value by following code:

var dateField = (DateField)item.Fields["Date"];
var itemDate = dateField.DateTime;

But itemDate contains wrong date. Let's check dateField.Value: it contains correct date in format: yyyymmddThhmmss. You can see in the following screenshot:

As you can see DateTime's date is September 13, but Value's date is September 14.

What reasons of this problem? How to get correct data from DateField as DateTime?

回答1:

That happens because internally Sitecore stores all the dates in UTC format. If you timezone has big difference with UTC - you are likely to come into that situation. Use Sitecore.DateUtil to make Sitecore do "dirty job" for you.

I have found solution how to get correct data from DateField as DateTime:

var dateField = (DateField)item.Fields["Date"];
var itemDate = Sitecore.DateUtil.IsoDateToDateTime(dateField.Value);

回答3:

You can use Sitecore.DateUtil.IsoDateToDateTime to correctly convert the date. There is also an override treatLegacyDatesAsUtc which can help to get the correct UTC time.

I noticed the link in Martins accepted answer was broken, I was unable to post a comment so I have added a working link here:
