And if you don't want to use DateTime.IsLeapYear() then have a try with it:

C#

try
{
   Console.Write("Please Enter the Year: ");
   int year = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
   
   if ((year % 4 == 0) && (year % 100 != 0) || (year % 400 == 0))
   {
      Console.WriteLine("The year {0}, is a Leap Year", year);
   }
   else
   {
      Console.WriteLine("The year {0}, is not a Leap Year", year);
   } 
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
   Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
