DateTime Structure

Represents a date and time value.

Object
   ValueType
      DateTime

[Visual Basic]
Public Structure DateTime
   Implements IComparable, IFormattable, IConvertible
[C#]
public struct DateTime : IComparable, IFormattable, IConvertible
[C++]
public __value struct DateTime : public IComparable, IFormattable,
   IConvertible

[JScript] In JScript, you can use the structures in the NGWS frameworks, but you cannot define your own.

Remarks

A DateTime object has a property named Ticks that stores the date and time as the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since 12:00 AM January 1, 1 A.D (year) in the GregorianCalendar.

For example, a ticks value of 31241376000000000L has the string representation "Friday, January 01, 0100 12:00:00 AM". Each additional tick increases the time interval by 100-nanoseconds.

The default string format options that may be used in Format are as follows:

d Short Date
D Long Date
f Full (long date + short time)
F Full (long date + long time)
g General (short date + short time)
G General (short date + long time)
m, M Month/Day Date
r, R RFC Standard
s Sortable without TimeZone info
t Short Time
T Long Time
u Universal with sort able format
U Universal with Full (long date + long time) format
y, Y Year/Month Date
Note   Some systems will not be able to get dates for 2-digit years of less than 1930. This is because OLE Automation string parsing routines look for at your computer's default short date string format, which uses 2-digit years on most computers. To fix this, go to Control Panel, Regional Settings, then Date and change the short date type to specify a 4-digits year ("m/d/yyyy").
