DateTimeOffset.Year Property

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

Gets the year component of the date represented by the current DateTimeOffset object.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property Year As Integer

public int Year { get; }

Property Value

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

Remarks

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.

Examples

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.

DateTimeOffset theTime = new DateTimeOffset(2008, 2, 17, 9, 0, 0,
                             DateTimeOffset.Now.Offset);
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("The year component of {0} is {1}.",
                  theTime, theTime.Year) + "\n";

outputBlock.Text += String.Format("The year component of {0} is{1}.",
                  theTime, theTime.ToString(" y")) + "\n";

outputBlock.Text += String.Format("The year component of {0} is {1}.",

                  theTime, theTime.ToString("yyyy")) + "\n";
