This method is used to create a new DateTime object which has the same number of ticks as the specified DateTime but is designated as either local time, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), or neither, as indicated by the specified DateTimeKind value.
Syntax: public static DateTime SpecifyKind (DateTime value, DateTimeKind kind);
Parameters:
value: It is the date and time.
kind: It is one of the enumeration values which indicates whether the new object represents local time, UTC, or neither.
Return Value: This method returns a new object that has the same number of ticks as the object represented by the value parameter and the DateTimeKind value specified by the kind parameter.
Below programs illustrate the use of DateTime.SpecifyKind(DateTime, DateTimeKind) Method:

+date.Kind);
DateTime value = DateTime.SpecifyKind(date,
DateTimeKind.Local);
