Get only year from DateTimePicker

Question

I have a DateTimePicker called dtProcurationDate it show the date as custom format yyyy/M/d .. now i'm trying to get only the year from it with code

string year = dtProcurationDate.Value.Year.ToString();

also tried

this.dtProcurationDate.CustomFormat = "yyyy";
string year = dtProcurationDate.Value.Year.ToString();

but it gives me a null value ..

That simply can't happen. The Value property of a datetime picker is of type DateTime, that is a struct so it can't be null. The year prpperty is an int, another struct. Plus if it was possible to have a null value you would get a null reference exception. Something else is going on. Did you try debugging your code? — Zohar Peled

Looking at the reference source it has a contract declaration that says the result will not be null, so something else must be going on. It would help if you posted a complete example because the fragment doesn't reveal anything. — Kevin Ford
