The Datetime type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	Datetime	Constructs a Datetime object with each part initialized to an unset state.
	Datetime(DateTime)	Creates Datetime object from System.DateTime
	Datetime(Datetime)	Constructs a Datetime object having the same values as specified 'other' Datetime object.
	Datetime(Int32, Int32, Int32)	Creates Datetime object having the Date portion set to the specified values. The time and timezone offset are in the unset state.
	Datetime(Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32)	Creates Datetime object having the Time portion set to the specified values. The Date and timezone offset are in the unset state.
	Datetime(Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32)	Creates Datetime object having the Date and Time portions set to the specified values. The timezone offset is in the unset state.

Properties

	Name	Description
	DayOfMonth	Gets or sets the day of month value of this Datetime object. The 'get' result is undefined unless DayOfMonth is set.
	Hour	Gets or sets the hour value of this Datetime object. The 'get' result is undefined unless Hour is set.
	MicroSecond	Gets or sets the number of (whole) microseconds in the fraction-of-a-second part of the value of this object. The 'get' result is undefined unless MicroSecond is set.
	MilliSecond	Gets or sets the millisecond value of this Datetime object. The 'get' result is undefined unless MilliSecond is set.
	Minute	Gets or sets the minute value of this Datetime object. The 'get' result is undefined unless Minute is set.
	Month	Gets or sets the month value of this Datetime object. The 'get' result is undefined unless Month is set.
	NanoSecond	Gets or sets the number of (whole) nanoseconds in the fraction-of-a-second part of the value of this object. The 'get' result is undefined unless NanoSecond is set.
	Parts	Gets a bitmask of all parts that are set in this Datetime object.
	PicoSecond	Gets or sets the number of (whole) picoseconds in the fraction-of-a-second part of the value of this object. The 'get' result is undefined unless PicoSecond is set.
	Second	Gets or sets the second value of this Datetime object. The 'get' result is undefined unless Second is set.
	TimezoneOffsetMinutes	Gets or sets the timezone offset value of this Datetime object. The 'get' result is undefined unless TimezoneOffsetMinutes is set.
	Year	Gets or sets the year value of this Datetime object. The 'get' result is undefined unless Year is set.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Clear	Sets all parts of this Datetime object to the unset state.
	Clone	Create a new Datetime object with the same value as this object.
	Equals	Check value equality. Two values are equal if they have the same parts, and those parts have the same values. e.g. 00:00 is not equal to 00:00:00. (Overrides ObjectEquals(Object).)
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.) (Overrides ObjectGetHashCode.)
	HasParts	Return true if this Datetime object has all of the specified parts set.
	IsValid	Check whether the value of this 'Datetime' object is valid. The behaviour is undefined unless this object represents a date (has YEAR, MONTH and DAY part set) or time (has HOURS, MINUTES, SECONDS and MILLISECONDS part set).
	IsValidField	Obsolete. Please use HasParts(Int32) instead.
	SetDate	Sets the date portion of this Datetime object to the specified values.
	SetDatetime(DateTime)	Sets the date, time and portions of this Datetime object using values from the specified System.DateTime.
	SetDatetime(Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32)	Sets the date, time and portions of this Datetime object to the specified values.
	SetDatetimeTz	Sets the date, time and timezone offset portions of this Datetime object to the specified values.
	SetDateTz	Sets the date and timezone offset portions of this Datetime object to the specified values.
	SetTime	Sets the time portions of this Datetime object to the specified values.
	SetTimeTz	Setsthe time and timezone offset portions of this Datetime object to the specified values.
	ToString	Converts the Date and Time represented by this Datetime object to String. (Overrides ObjectToString.)
	ToSystemDateTime	Converts this BLP Datetime object into System.DateTime object.

	NANOSECOND_PART	Nanosecond part bitmask.
	PICOSECOND_PART	Picosecond part bitmask.
	SECOND_PART	Second part bitmask.
	TIME	Time part bitmask without millisecond.
	TIME_ZONE_OFFSET	Timezone offset part bitmask.
	TIMEMILLI	Time part bitmask with millisecond.

Remarks

Datetime can represent a date and/or a time or any combination of the components of a date and time. The value is represented as eight parts which can be set or queried independently. These parts are: year; month; day (of month); hour; minute; second; milliseconds and offset (of timezone from GMT in minutes). Methods are provided to set and query the parts individually and in groups. For example, setDate() and setTime(). It is also possible to determine which parts of the Datetime have been set.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
