   <MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)> Public Year As Short
   <MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)> Public Month As Short
   <MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)> Public DayOfWeek As Short
   <MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)> Public Day As Short
   <MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)> Public Hour As Short

Notes:

Sometimes, when trying to transform this struct into a CLR DateTime, I noticed that the year is 1 year behind. I don't know why.
