using a integer variable with a vb.net datetime literal

[awrightus@hotmail.com]

I am trying to incorporate a integer variable with a vb.net datetime
literal.

For example:

Dim Jan1 As DateTime = (#1/1/2006#) would be a literal for January 1st
of this year. But I have a integer variable that represents the
current year, intYear, for example.

Is there a way to combine the use of a integer variable with the
datetime literal? This obviously doesn't work, but I'm trying
something like this:

Dim Jan1 As DateTime = (#1/1/intYear#)

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

That doesn't quite make sense. Literals are by definition compile-time
constants, not variable. That said, you can do

Dim Jan1 As New DateTime(intyea r, 1, 1)

Okay, I didn't explain myself so well, but you answered my question
perfectly. Thanks.
