Return Value

true if the Date value were set successfully; otherwise, it is false (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

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Dicom;

   DateTime[] dateArray = { new DateTime(2000, 3, 8, 12, 30, 0), new DateTime(2003, 5, 16, 1, 30, 0) };
