Class Microsoft.VisualBasic.DateAndTime Syntax Dim result As Date = DateSerial(year, month, day)
year (required; Integer) The year, a number between 1 and 9999, inclusive
month (required; Integer) The month, a number between 1 and 12, inclusive
day (required; Integer) The day, a number between 1 and 31, inclusive Description The DateSerial function returns a Date with the value that is specified by the three date components. Usage at a Glance If the month or day value exceeds its normal limits in either a positive or negative direction, DateSerial adjusts the date accordingly. For example, if you try DateSerial(2005, 1, 35)January 35, 2005DateSerial returns February 4, 2005. If any of the parameters exceed the range of the Integer data type, a runtime error occurs. DateSerial handles two-digit years in the same way as other Visual Basic date functions. A year argument between 0 and 29 is taken to be in the current century; year arguments between 30 and 99 are taken to be in the previous century.
