Edit Question
Title
Body
I am writing a method which accepts year as parameter. I.e. four digit number equal or less than current year. Calendar is Gregorian only (for now.. not sure about the future) and I most certainly won't need anything BC. Which data type am I to use? Obvious solutions would be using DateTime or Int32 : public void MyFunction(DateTime date) { // year to work with: date.Year; // date.Month, date.Day, etc. is irrelevant and will always be } or public void MyFunction(Int year) { if ( year > 9999 || otherValidations == false ) { //throw new Exception... } // year to work with: new DateTime(year, 1, 1); } Any other alternatives apart from writing my own custom data type Year?
