)

public function GetAbbreviatedEraName (
	era : int
) : String

Parameters

era

The integer representing the era.

Return Value

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.

The valid values for era are listed in the Eras property of the appropriate class derived from Calendar. For example: JapaneseCalendar.Eras displays a list of eras that are supported by this implementation.

In the JapaneseCalendar, the abbreviated era name is the first character of the full era name; that is, either the single-character case-insensitive Latin alphabet abbreviation or the single-character Kanji abbreviation.

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