The ChineseLunisolarCalendar class is derived from the EastAsianLunisolarCalendar class, which represents the lunisolar calendar. The EastAsianLunisolarCalendar class supports converting dates between solar and lunisolar calendars, calendars in which the year is associated with an era and repeats in 60-year cycles, and calendars that can have leap months after any month of the year. The ChineseLunisolarCalendar class calculates years based on solar calculations, and months and days based on lunar calculations.
A leap month can occur after any month in a year. For example, the GetMonth method returns a number between 1 and 13 that indicates the month associated with a specified date. If there is a leap month between the eighth and ninth months of the year, the GetMonth method returns 8 for the eighth month, 9 for the leap eighth month, and 10 for the ninth month.
Currently, the ChineseLunisolarCalendar is not used by any of the cultures supported by the CultureInfo class; therefore, this class can be used only to calculate dates in the Chinese lunisolar calendar.
Each CultureInfo supports a set of calendars. The Calendar property returns the default calendar for the culture, and the OptionalCalendars property returns an array containing all the calendars supported by the culture. To change the calendar used by a CultureInfo, set the Calendar property of CultureInfo.DateTimeFormat to a new Calendar.
