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

'Declaration
Public Function GetEraName ( _
    era As Integer _
) As String

public string GetEraName(
    int era
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.String
A string containing the name of the era.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

era does not represent a valid era in the calendar specified in the Calendar property.

Remarks

The era name is the name a calendar uses to refer to a period of time reckoned from a fixed point or event. For example, "A.D." or "C.E." is the current era in the Gregorian calendar.

An array that contains the valid values for era is returned by the Eras property of the appropriate class derived from Calendar. For example, the JapaneseCalendar.Eras property returns a list of eras that are supported by this implementation.

Notes to Callers

If DateTimeFormatInfo.Calendar is the TaiwanCalendar but the Thread.CurrentCulture is not "zh-TW", then GetEraName and GetAbbreviatedEraName return an empty string ("").
