The formats of a Domino Designer date-time item and a LotusScript date variant differ. For example, you cannot put a LotusScript date variant in a Domino Designer date-time item or manipulate a Domino Designer time-date item with LotusScript date functions.

The NotesDateTime class converts between formats by representing both formats as properties. For example, you can get the value of a Domino Designer date-time item by setting the LocalTime property, which is in Domino Designer format, and then manipulating the value with LotusScript functions by accessing the LSLocalTime property of the same object.

The following table lists the NotesDateTime properties:

Property	Data type	Description
DateOnly	String	(Read-only) Date part of Domino Designer date-time in local time
GMTTime	String	(Read-only) Domino Designer date-time in Greenwich Mean Time
IsDST	Boolean	(Read-only) True if the time is daylight-saving time
LocalTime	String	(Read-write) Domino Designer date-time in local time
LSGMTTime	Date variant	(Read-only) LotusScript date-time in Greenwich Mean Time
LSLocalTime	Date variant	(Read-write) LotusScript date-time in local time
Parent	NotesSession	(Read-only) The session that contains a DateTime object. For COM only
TimeOnly	String	(Read-only) Time part of Domino Designer date-time in local time
TimeZone	Integer	(Read-only) Hours that must be added to the time to get Greenwich Mean Time
ZoneTime	String	(Read-only) Domino Designer date-time adjusted for TimeZone and IsDST, which can be changed with ConvertToZone

The NotesDateRange class represents a range of dates. The following table lists the NotesDateRange properties. When you set a NotesDateRange object, either write to StartDate and EndDate, or Text, but not both. Values written to StartDate or EndDate are immediately transcribed to Text, and vice versa.

Property	Data type	Description
EndDateTime	NotesDateTime	(Read-write) Domino Designer date-time in local time
Parent	NotesSession	(Read-only) The session that contains a DateRange object For COM only.
StartDateTime	NotesDateTime	(Read-write) The starting date-time of the range
Text	String	(Read-write) The range as two date-time strings separated by a hyphen
