Syntax

'Declaration
Public Overrides Function GetDaysInMonth ( _
    year As Integer, _
    month As Integer, _
    era As Integer _
) As Integer
public override int GetDaysInMonth(
    int year,
    int month,
    int era
)

Parameters

  • month
    Type: System.Int32
    An integer from 1 through 12 that represents a month.
  • era
    Type: System.Int32
    An era. Specify UmAlQuraCalendar.Eras[UmAlQuraCalendar.CurrentEra].

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
The number of days in the specified month in the specified year and era. The return value is 29 in a common year and 30 in a leap year.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

year, month, or era is outside the range supported by the UmAlQuraCalendar class.

Remarks

This method returns a different number of days in a specified month for a common year versus a leap year. For example, this method returns 29 or 30 for Zulhijjah (month = 12), depending on whether year is a leap year.

Examples

The following example calls the GetDaysInMonth method to get the number of days in each month of five consecutive years.
