Question

I have a drop down that has the years basically 2011,2010,2009 etc… and there is a date that i need to append the year selected to, basically I want to check todays date

DateTime dt = DateTime.Today;

and then change the year of dt to the value selected of my drop down

dt.Year = ddlMyYear.SelectedValue; but this does not work, not sure how to do this..

Thank you

Answer 1

DateTime is immutable.

Instead, you can write

dt = new DateTime((int)ddlMyYear.SelectedValue, dt.Month, dt.Day)
