element: An item in the Data Set.

value: Pointer to an array of System.DateTime objects that contain the Date value(s) to set.

Sets the Date value of a Data Element. Supported in Silverlight, Windows Phone 7.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Overloads Public Function SetDateValue( _ ByVal element As DicomElement, _ ByVal value() As Date _ ) As Boolean

Visual Basic (Usage)	Copy Code
Dim instance As DicomDataSet Dim element As DicomElement Dim value() As Date Dim value As Boolean value = instance.SetDateValue(element, value)

C#
public bool SetDateValue( DicomElement element, DateTime[] value )

C++/CLI
public: bool SetDateValue( DicomElement^ element, array<DateTime>^ value )

Parameters

element: An item in the Data Set.
value: Pointer to an array of System.DateTime objects that contain the Date value(s) to set.

Return Value

true if the Date value were set successfully; otherwise, it is false if the Date value of the Data Element could not be set.

Example

This example will insert several elements into a DICOM data set and set.the values
