Please explain this: "Now I wanna give it a date and app changes that"!
It is working with current date, and you want to make it work with user input date - so that user enters a gregorian date and the program shows it's Persian equivalent?

You may use GetYear on any DateTime:

C#

DateTime dt = new DateTime(2013,1,1);
System.Globalization.PersianCalendar pc = new System.Globalization.PersianCalendar();
pc.GetYear(dt);
