GregorianCalendar Constructor

Initializes a new instance of the GregorianCalendar class using the default GregorianCalendarTypes value.

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

public:
GregorianCalendar()

The default GregorianCalendarTypes value is Localized. If the DateTimeFormatInfo::Calendar property of the CultureInfo is set to a GregorianCalendar that is created with this constructor, the dates and times are localized in the language associated with the CultureInfo.

The following code example prints a DateTime using a GregorianCalendar that is localized.


using namespace System;
using namespace System::Globalization;
int main()
{

   // Creates and initializes three different CultureInfo.
   CultureInfo^ myCIdeDE = gcnew CultureInfo( "de-DE",false );
   CultureInfo^ myCIenUS = gcnew CultureInfo( "en-US",false );
   CultureInfo^ myCIfrFR = gcnew CultureInfo( "fr-FR",false );
   CultureInfo^ myCIruRU = gcnew CultureInfo( "ru-RU",false );

   // Creates a Localized GregorianCalendar.
   // GregorianCalendarTypes::Localized is the default when using the GregorianCalendar constructor with->Item[Out] parameters.
   Calendar^ myCal = gcnew GregorianCalendar;

   // Sets the DateTimeFormatInfo::Calendar property to a Localized GregorianCalendar.
   // Localized GregorianCalendar is the default calendar for de-DE, en-US, and fr-FR,
   myCIruRU->DateTimeFormat->Calendar = myCal;

   // Creates a DateTime.
   DateTime myDT = DateTime(2002,1,3,13,30,45);

   // Displays the DateTime.
   Console::WriteLine( "de-DE: {0}", myDT.ToString( "F", myCIdeDE ) );
   Console::WriteLine( "en-US: {0}", myDT.ToString( "F", myCIenUS ) );
   Console::WriteLine( "fr-FR: {0}", myDT.ToString( "F", myCIfrFR ) );
   Console::WriteLine( "ru-RU: {0}", myDT.ToString( "F", myCIruRU ) );
}

/*
The example displays the following output:
   de-DE: Donnerstag, 3. Januar 2002 13:30:45
   en-US: Thursday, January 03, 2002 1:30:45 PM
   fr-FR: jeudi 3 janvier 2002 13:30:45
   ru-RU: 3 января 2002 г. 13:30:45
*/
