HijriCalendar.HijriAdjustment Property

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Gets or sets the number of days to add or subtract from the calendar to accommodate the variances in the start and the end of Ramadan and to accommodate the date difference between countries/regions.

Namespace: System.Globalization
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property HijriAdjustment As Integer

public int HijriAdjustment { get; set; }

Property Value

Type: System.Int32
An integer from -2 to 2 that represents the number of days to add or subtract from the calendar.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	The property is being set to an invalid value.

Remarks

This implementation of the HijriCalendar class adjusts the calendar date by adding or subtracting a value from zero to two days to accommodate the variances in the start and the end of Ramadan and to accommodate the date difference between countries/regions. That value is stored in the HijriAdjustment property.

Examples

The following code example shows how HijriAdjustment affects the date.
