Try the following: using System; class Test { static void Main() { DateTime nowCurrent = DateTime.Today; DateTime prevCurrent = nowCurrent.AddYears(-1); DateTime firstDayCurrentYear = new DateTime(nowCurrent.Year 1 1); DateTime firstDayPreviousYear = new DateTime(prevCurrent.Year 1 1); Console.WriteLine(Today this year is {0} nowCurrent.ToShortDateString()); Console.WriteLine(Today last year is {0} prevCurrent.ToShortDateString()); Console.WriteLine(First day of current year is {0} firstDayCurrentYear.ToShortDateString()); Console.WriteLine(First day of previous year is {0} firstDayPreviousYear.ToShortDateString()); Console.ReadKey(); } }
