C# parse DateTime year to int

How can I parse DateTime variables only year to Integer type?

I would like to parse DateTime variable (2008-06-08) to a integer type variable that would contain only year (2008)

I have tried converting DateTime to string and string parsing to int, but maybe there is a better way to do so?

If you already have a DateTime as stated you just need to use the Year property:

int year = dt.Year;

If you have a string you have to parse it first, f.e. by using ParseExact:

DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact("2008-06-08", "yyyy-MM-dd", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
