Syntax

'Declaration
<ComVisibleAttribute(False)> _
Public Overrides Function GetWeekOfYear ( _
    time As DateTime, _
    rule As CalendarWeekRule, _
    firstDayOfWeek As DayOfWeek _
) As Integer
[ComVisibleAttribute(false)]
public override int GetWeekOfYear(
    DateTime time,
    CalendarWeekRule rule,
    DayOfWeek firstDayOfWeek
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
A 1-based positive integer that represents the week of the year that includes the date in the time parameter.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

time or firstDayOfWeek is outside the range supported by the calendar.

-or-

rule is not a valid CalendarWeekRule value.

Remarks

This method can be used to determine the number of weeks in the year by setting the time parameter to the last day of the year.

CultureInfo.DateTimeFormat contains culture-specific values that can be used for the rule and firstDayOfWeek parameters.

The FirstDayOfWeek property of CultureInfo.DateTimeFormat contains the default DayOfWeek value that represents the first day of the week for a specific culture, using the calendar specified in the Calendar property of CultureInfo.DateTimeFormat.

The CalendarWeekRule property of CultureInfo.DateTimeFormat contains the default CalendarWeekRule value that defines a calendar week for a specific culture, using the calendar specified in the Calendar property of CultureInfo.DateTimeFormat.

For example, in GregorianCalendar, GetWeekOfYear for January 1 returns 1.

Examples

The following code example shows how the result of the GetWeekOfYear method varies depending on the FirstDayOfWeek and CalendarWeekRule values used. If the specified date is the last day of the year, GetWeekOfYear returns the total number of weeks in that year.
