PersianCalendar.AddYears Method
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Namespace: System.Globalization
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Overrides Function AddYears ( _
time As DateTime, _
years As Integer _
) As DateTime
public override DateTime AddYears(
DateTime time,
int years
)
Parameters
- time
Type: System.DateTime
The date and time to which to add years.
- years
Type: System.Int32
The positive or negative number of years to add.
Return Value
Type: System.DateTime
The date and time that results from adding the specified number of years to the specified DateTime object.
Exceptions
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentException | The resulting DateTime is outside the supported range. |
| ArgumentOutOfRangeException | years is less than -10,000 or greater than 10,000. |
Remarks
The Kind property of the returned DateTime value always equals DateTimeKind.Unspecified. You can preserve the Kind property of the time parameter by calling the DateTime.SpecifyKind method, as the following example shows.
returnTime = DateTime.SpecifyKind(cal.AddYears(time, years), time.Kind)
returnTime = DateTime.SpecifyKind(cal.AddYears(time, years), time.Kind);
Examples
The following example uses the AddYears method.
