DateTime.Year Property
Gets the year component of the date represented by this instance.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The Year property returns the year of the current instance in the Gregorian calendar. It does not return the year using the default calendar of the current culture. To retrieve the year using a particular calendar, you can call that calendar's GetYear method, as the following code shows.
Imports System.Globalization Imports System.Threading Module YearMethodExample Public Sub Main() ' Initialize date variable and display year Dim date1 As Date = #01/01/2008 6:32AM# Console.WriteLine(date1.Year) ' Displays 2008 ' Set culture to th-TH Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = New CultureInfo("th-TH") Console.WriteLine(date1.Year) ' Displays 2008 ' display year using current culture's calendar Dim thaiCalendar As Calendar = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Calendar Console.WriteLine(thaiCalendar.GetYear(date1)) ' Displays 2551 ' display year using Persian calendar Dim persianCalendar As New PersianCalendar() Console.WriteLine(persianCalendar.GetYear(date1)) ' Displays 1386 End Sub End Module
The following example demonstrates the Year property.
Dim moment As New System.DateTime(1999, 1, 13, 3, 57, 32, 11) ' Year gets 1999. Dim year As Integer = moment.Year ' Month gets 1 (January). Dim month As Integer = moment.Month ' Day gets 13. Dim day As Integer = moment.Day ' Hour gets 3. Dim hour As Integer = moment.Hour ' Minute gets 57. Dim minute As Integer = moment.Minute ' Second gets 32. Dim second As Integer = moment.Second ' Millisecond gets 11. Dim millisecond As Integer = moment.Millisecond
