Property Value
Type: System.Int32The year component of the current DateTimeOffset object, expressed as an integer value between 0 and 9999.

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.
