override this.AddYears : DateTime * int -> DateTime
Public Overrides Function AddYears (time As DateTime, years As Integer) As DateTime

Parameters

time
DateTime

The DateTime to which to add years.

years
Int32

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)
