Calendar Constructor
Initializes a new instance of the Calendar class.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
In the Portable Class Library, the Calendar class constructor is unavailable, and classes derived from Calendar are not public. If you want a calendar of a specific type, such as a Gregorian calendar object, you have to retrieve it from the CultureInfo.Calendar or DateTimeFormatInfo.Calendar property, or from the CultureInfo.OptionalCalendars property array.
The following example demonstrates the members of the Calendar class.
using System; using System.Globalization; public class SamplesCalendar { public static void Main() { // Sets a DateTime to April 3, 2002 of the Gregorian calendar. DateTime myDT = new DateTime( 2002, 4, 3, new GregorianCalendar() ); // Uses the default calendar of the InvariantCulture. Calendar myCal = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.Calendar; // Displays the values of the DateTime. Console.WriteLine( "April 3, 2002 of the Gregorian calendar:" ); DisplayValues( myCal, myDT ); // Adds 5 to every component of the DateTime. myDT = myCal.AddYears( myDT, 5 ); myDT = myCal.AddMonths( myDT, 5 ); myDT = myCal.AddWeeks( myDT, 5 ); myDT = myCal.AddDays( myDT, 5 ); myDT = myCal.AddHours( myDT, 5 ); myDT = myCal.AddMinutes( myDT, 5 ); myDT = myCal.AddSeconds( myDT, 5 ); myDT = myCal.AddMilliseconds( myDT, 5 ); // Displays the values of the DateTime. Console.WriteLine( "After adding 5 to each component of the DateTime:" ); DisplayValues( myCal, myDT ); } public static void DisplayValues( Calendar myCal, DateTime myDT ) { Console.WriteLine( " Era: {0}", myCal.GetEra( myDT ) ); Console.WriteLine( " Year: {0}", myCal.GetYear( myDT ) ); Console.WriteLine( " Month: {0}", myCal.GetMonth( myDT ) ); Console.WriteLine( " DayOfYear: {0}", myCal.GetDayOfYear( myDT ) ); Console.WriteLine( " DayOfMonth: {0}", myCal.GetDayOfMonth( myDT ) ); Console.WriteLine( " DayOfWeek: {0}", myCal.GetDayOfWeek( myDT ) ); Console.WriteLine( " Hour: {0}", myCal.GetHour( myDT ) ); Console.WriteLine( " Minute: {0}", myCal.GetMinute( myDT ) ); Console.WriteLine( " Second: {0}", myCal.GetSecond( myDT ) ); Console.WriteLine( " Milliseconds: {0}", myCal.GetMilliseconds( myDT ) ); Console.WriteLine(); } } /* This code produces the following output. April 3, 2002 of the Gregorian calendar: Era: 1 Year: 2002 Month: 4 DayOfYear: 93 DayOfMonth: 3 DayOfWeek: Wednesday Hour: 0 Minute: 0 Second: 0 Milliseconds: 0 After adding 5 to each component of the DateTime: Era: 1 Year: 2007 Month: 10 DayOfYear: 286 DayOfMonth: 13 DayOfWeek: Saturday Hour: 5 Minute: 5 Second: 5 Milliseconds: 5 */
