DateTime.Year Property
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Gets the year component of the date represented by this instance.
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. The following example, which assumes that the target computer's current culture is th-TH, illustrates this.
Imports System.Globalization Module Example Public Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock) ' Initialize date variable and display year Dim date1 As Date = #1/1/2008 6:32:00 AM# outputBlock.Text &= date1.Year & vbCrLf ' Displays 2008 ' display year using current culture's calendar Dim thaiCalendar As Calendar = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Calendar outputBlock.Text &= thaiCalendar.GetYear(date1) & vbCrLf ' Displays 2551 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
