   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
