Exceptions
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentOutOfRangeException | year is less than 1 or greater than 9999. -or- month is less than 1 or greater than 12. -or- day is less than 1 or greater than the number of days in month. -or- hour is less than 0 or greater than 23. -or- minute is less than 0 or greater than 59. -or- second is less than 0 or greater than 59. |
| ArgumentException | The specified date and time parameters evaluate to earlier than DateTime.MinValue or later than DateTime.MaxValue. -or- kind is not one of the DateTimeKind values. |
Remarks
This constructor interprets the year, month, and day parameters as a year, month, and day in the Gregorian calendar. To instantiate a DateTime value by using the year, month, and day in another calendar, call the DateTime(Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Calendar, DateTimeKind) constructor.
For applications in which a limited degree of time zone awareness is important, you can use the corresponding DateTimeOffset constructor.
Examples
The following example uses the DateTime(Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, DateTimeKind) constructor to instantiate a DateTime value.
Dim date1 As New Date(2010, 8, 18, 16, 32, 0, DateTimeKind.Local)
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0} {1}", date1, date1.Kind) & vbCrLf
' The example displays the following output:
' 8/18/2010 4:32:00 PM Local
DateTime date1 = new DateTime(2010, 8, 18, 16, 32, 0, DateTimeKind.Local);
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0} {1}", date1, date1.Kind) + "\n";
// The example displays the following output:
// 8/18/2010 4:32:00 PM Local
