Formatting Parameter Values

I want to enter part of a parameter value as an expression similar to
formatting a global fields e.g. Format(Globals.ExecutionTime, "D").
My parameter is returning XXXX 2006, but I only want the year part of
the parameter passed to the expression.
Can this be done.?If it's a date, then =Datepart(DateInterval.Year, Parameters!myParm.Value)
or you could do the following:
=DatePart(DateInterval.Year,
DateTime.Parse(Parameters!myParam.Value.ToString()))
You could also do this:
=Parameters!myParam.Value.ToString().SubString(4,4) /* assuming 0-based
strings */
