using Leadtools.Dicom; 
 
 
///  
 
private void DicomDataSet_SetDateValueExample()

   element = ds.InsertElement(null, false, DicomTag.DateOfLastCalibration, DicomVRType.DA, false, -1); 
   DateTime[] dateArray = { new DateTime(2000, 3, 8, 12, 30, 0), new DateTime(2003, 5, 16, 1, 30, 0) }; 
   ds.SetDateValue(element, dateArray);
