Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	year is less than 1 or greater than 9999. -or- month is less than 1 or greater than 12. -or- day is less than 1 or greater than the number of days in month. -or- hour is less than 0 or greater than 23. -or- minute is less than 0 or greater than 59. -or- second is less than 0 or greater than 59. -or- millisecond is less than 0 or greater than 999.

Exception

Condition

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

year is less than 1 or greater than 9999.

-or-

month is less than 1 or greater than 12.

-or-

day is less than 1 or greater than the number of days in month.

-or-

hour is less than 0 or greater than 23.

-or-

minute is less than 0 or greater than 59.

-or-

second is less than 0 or greater than 59.

-or-

millisecond is less than 0 or greater than 999.

Remarks

This constructor interprets year, month, and day as a year, month, and day in the Gregorian calendar. To instantiate a DateTime value by using the year, month, and day in another calendar, call the DateTime(Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Calendar) constructor.

The Kind property is initialized to Unspecified.

For applications in which portability of date and time data or a limited degree of time zone awareness is important, you can use the corresponding DateTimeOffset constructor.

Examples

The following example uses the DateTime(Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32) constructor to instantiate a DateTime value.

DateTime date1 = new DateTime(2010, 8, 18, 16, 32, 18, 500);
Console.WriteLine(date1.ToString("M/dd/yyyy h:mm:ss.fff tt"));
// The example displays the following output: 
//      8/18/2010 4:32:18.500 PM
