The date and time patterns associated with the GregorianCalendar vary depending on the culture. If the value of the CultureInfo::Calendar property of a particular culture is GregorianCalendar, or if the value of one of the calendars in a culture’s CultureInfo::OptionalCalendars property array is GregorianCalendar, that object’s GregorianCalendar::CalendarType property is a GregorianCalendarTypes enumeration value that specifies which date and time patterns that culture uses.

For example, most of the Arabic cultures support the following versions of the Gregorian calendar:

A culture that supports GregorianCalendar might not support all language versions of GregorianCalendar. The CultureInfo::Calendar and CultureInfo::OptionalCalendars properties specify the calendars supported by that culture. If GregorianCalendar is supported, CalendarType can be used to determine which language versions of GregorianCalendar are supported.

The following example demonstrates how to determine the GregorianCalendar language version supported by the culture.
