4,462 PointsHow do I set a DateTime field to a specific date?
I believe that we only practiced ".Now" and ."Today" earlier, or I might just have forgotten about it. Anyways.
Say that I am instantiating a ReleaseDate class instance and I want to set the date to 4the June, 2002.. what should I put to the right side of the equals sign? :
album.ReleaseDate = (2002, 6, 4)????;
The field in question:
public DateTime ReleaseDate { get; set; }

Another way you could do it:
album.ReleaseDate = Convert.ToDateTime("06/04/2002");
