Hi,
I know we can assigne year, month and day to a DateTime value by the
constructor like
Dim dt As DateTime = New DateTime(2003,8 ,1)
How can i assign value by year, month and day? I am looking for a function
like this:
st = SetDateTime(200 2,7,2)
Is there any way to that without creating a new DateTime object ?
Thanks,
Ali 5 8643
Hi A.M,
I'm not quite sure to your question. You need to set a DateTime value by
this function, but what's the type of the return value? Did you mean
st.SetDateTime( 2002,7,2)?
Could you please provide slightly more information about what you are going
to do, it would be much easier to help you find ways to achieve that.
If anything is unclear, please feel free to reply to the post.

You mean you want to _change_ the date/time of an existing DateTime object?
Unfortunately, the answer is: no, it is not possible. If you are concerned
about the performance, it is no a big deal, because the only field of a
datetime object is/are the Ticks (int64).

There is no problem to create a new DateTime object and leave it to GC
Why such a perfect class suffers from lack of method like
st.SetTime(year ,month,day) ?

news:%2******** ************@TK 2MSFTNGP10.phx. gbl... A.M, I hope you realize that DateTime is an immutable Structure, not a Class!
Being a Structure means it is a value type and has value semantics, being immutable means it has full value semantics.
Which means to change a value on a DateTime variable you need to create a new DateTime 'value'. Being a Structure means that this DateTime 'value' exists on the stack, not the heap. Hence the GC does not collection
DateTime objects.
So the following statement: > Dim dt As DateTime = New DateTime(2003,8 ,1) Does not create an object on the heap that the GC needs to collection
later. This is (partially) explained at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...guidelines.asp (following the links on that page for more details)
Of course if a Class has an instance DateTime field, that DateTime 'value' exists on the heap as an integral part of that object. Or if a DateTime 'value' is passed to an Object parameter, the 'value' will be boxed, at
that point it is effectively an object.
Hope this helps Jay

I have a string variable that holds the equivalent of a DateTime value. I

I am using C#
eg.
- String variable "strMyDate" holds the value "1/1/2005 12:00:00 AM" from
the database.
- I do not care about the time portion, I only want "1/1/2005" for display.
