    private void dashboardDesigner_RangeFilterPredefinedDateTimePeriods(object sender, RangeFilterPredefinedDateTimePeriodsEventArgs e) {
            if (e.ItemComponentName == "range" && e.FilterType == DateTimePeriodFilterType.Year) {
                // Creates a new 'Last 4 Years' period.
                FlowDateTimePeriodLimit startDate = new FlowDateTimePeriodLimit(DateTimeInterval.Year, -4);
                FlowDateTimePeriodLimit endDate = new FlowDateTimePeriodLimit(DateTimeInterval.Year, 0);
                DateTimePeriod period = new DateTimePeriod("Last 4 Years", startDate, endDate);
                e.Periods.Insert(3, period);

                // Removes the default 'Last Year' period.
                period = e.Periods.FirstOrDefault(p => p.Name == DashboardWinLocalizer.GetString(DashboardWinStringId.PeriodLastYear));
                e.Periods.Remove(period);
            }
        }

VB.NET

    Private Sub dashboardDesigner_RangeFilterPredefinedDateTimePeriods(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RangeFilterPredefinedDateTimePeriodsEventArgs)
            If e.ItemComponentName = "range" AndAlso e.FilterType = DateTimePeriodFilterType.Year Then
                ' Creates a new 'Last 4 Years' period.
                Dim startDate As New FlowDateTimePeriodLimit(DateTimeInterval.Year, -4)
                Dim endDate As New FlowDateTimePeriodLimit(DateTimeInterval.Year, 0)
                Dim period As New DateTimePeriod("Last 4 Years", startDate, endDate)
                e.Periods.Insert(3, period)

                ' Removes the default 'Last Year' period.
                period = e.Periods.FirstOrDefault(Function(p) p.Name = DashboardWinLocalizer.GetString(DashboardWinStringId.PeriodLastYear))
                e.Periods.Remove(period)
