DateTime Constructor (Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Initializes a new instance of the DateTime structure to the specified year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and millisecond.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub New ( _
    year As Integer, _
    month As Integer, _
    day As Integer, _
    hour As Integer, _
    minute As Integer, _
    second As Integer, _
    millisecond As Integer _
)
public DateTime(
    int year,
    int month,
    int day,
    int hour,
    int minute,
    int second,
    int millisecond
)

Parameters

  • day
    Type: System.Int32
    The day (1 through the number of days in month).
  • millisecond
    Type: System.Int32
    The milliseconds (0 through 999).

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.

ArgumentException

The specified parameters evaluate to earlier than DateTime.MinValue or later than DateTime.MaxValue.

Remarks

This constructor interprets the year, month, and day parameters 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 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.

Dim date1 As New Date(2010, 8, 18, 16, 32, 18, 500)
outputBlock.Text &= date1.ToString("M/dd/yyyy h:mm:ss.fff tt") & vbCrLf
' The example displays the following output:
'      8/18/2010 4:32:18.500 PM
DateTime date1 = new DateTime(2010, 8, 18, 16, 32, 18, 500);
outputBlock.Text += date1.ToString("M/dd/yyyy h:mm:ss.fff tt") + "\n";
// The example displays the following output:
//      8/18/2010 4:32:18.500 PM
