When we are dealing with time and date in **[C#](https://www.educative.io/answers/what-is-net)**, we often need a data type to store such values easily. So, for this purpose, we have a specific data type called **`DataTime`**. 

# Constructors
There are two ways to initialize the `DateTime` variable:


```c#
DateTime DT = new DateTime();// this will initialze variable with a date(01/01/0001) and time(00:00:00).

DateTime DT = new DateTime(2019,05,09,9,15,0);// this will initialize variable with a specific date(09/05/2019) and time(9:15:00).

```
> Note: The (year, month, day, hour, minute, second) format is followed.

using System;
 
class DateTimeTesting
{
    static void Main()
    {
        DateTime DT1 = new DateTime();// Default constructor
        Console.WriteLine(DT1);
 
        DateTime DT2 = new DateTime(2019,05,09,09,15,00);// Parameterized constructor
        Console.WriteLine(DT2);
 
    }
}


## Static methods 
Here, in the code below, we have given a sample code for two [static methods](https://www.educative.io/answers/what-is-the-php-static-method):

* **`DaysInMonth(yyyy,mm)`** : It returns the number of days in the specific month.

* **`IsLeapYear(yyyy)`** : It returns *true* if the specified year is a leap year and *false* if otherwise.

using System;
class DateTimeTesting
{
    static void Main()
    {
        int days = DateTime.DaysInMonth(2019,05);
        Console.WriteLine(days);

        bool isLeap = DateTime.IsLeapYear(2019);
        Console.WriteLine(isLeap);
    }
}
