Namespace:  System

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property Year As Integer

Property Value

Type: System.Int32
The year component of the current DateTimeOffset object, expressed as an integer value between 0 and 9999.

The Year property is not affected by the value of the Offset property.

You can also create a string representation of a DateTimeOffset object's year component by calling the ToString method with the "y", "yy", or "yyyy" custom format specifiers.

The following example displays the year component of a DateTimeOffset value in four different ways:

  • By retrieving the value of the Year property.

  • By calling the ToString(String) method with the "y" format specifier.

  • By calling the ToString(String) method with the "yy" format specifier.

  • By calling the ToString(String) method with the "yyyy" format specifier.


Dim theTime As New DateTimeOffset(#2/17/2008 9:00:00 AM#, _
                                  DateTimeOffset.Now.Offset)
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("The year component of {0} is {1}.", _
                  theTime, theTime.Year) & vbCrLf

outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("The year component of {0} is{1}.", _
                  theTime, theTime.ToString(" y")) & vbCrLf

outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("The year component of {0} is {1}.", _
                  theTime, theTime.ToString("yy")) & vbCrLf

outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("The year component of {0} is {1}.", _
                  theTime, theTime.ToString("yyyy")) & vbCrLf
' The example produces the following output:
'    The year component of 2/17/2008 9:00:00 AM -07:00 is 2008.
'    The year component of 2/17/2008 9:00:00 AM -07:00 is 8.
'    The year component of 2/17/2008 9:00:00 AM -07:00 is 08.
'    The year component of 2/17/2008 9:00:00 AM -07:00 is 2008.
