Check to see if year is leap year

Question

<script Language="c#" runat="server">
  void Page_Load()
  {
   int currentYear = DateTime.Now.Year();

   if (currentYear % 400 == 0) {
     Message2.Text = ("This is a leap year");
   }
   else {
     Message2.Text = ("This is not a leap year");
   }

 }

Currently I am getting a RunTime error. My goal is to test whether or not the current year, using DateTime.Now.Year() is a leap year or not. I think the issue is that I am not properly converting year to int? Please advise.

You can just use DateTime.IsLeapYear():

if (DateTime.IsLeapYear(year)) 
{
   //do stuff
}
