class GFG { 
  
    // Main Method 
    public static void Main() 
    { 
  
        // creating object of DateTime 
        DateTime date = new DateTime(2010, 1, 
                                1, 4, 0, 15); 
  
        // getting Typecode of date 
        // using IsDaylightSavingTime() method; 
        bool value = date.IsDaylightSavingTime(); 
  
        // checking the condition 
        if (value) 
            Console.WriteLine("Instance of DateTime is within the"
                               + " daylight saving time range for"+ 
                                        " the current time zone."); 
  
        else
            Console.WriteLine("Instance of DateTime is not within the"
