This method can be used to determine the number of weeks in the year by setting the time parameter to the last day of the year.
The CultureInfo.DateTimeFormat property contains culture-specific values that can be used for the rule and firstDayOfWeek parameters.
The FirstDayOfWeek property of CultureInfo.DateTimeFormat contains the default DayOfWeek value that represents the first day of the week for a specific culture, using the calendar specified in the Calendar property of CultureInfo.DateTimeFormat.
The CalendarWeekRule property of CultureInfo.DateTimeFormat contains the default CalendarWeekRule value that defines a calendar week for a specific culture, using the calendar specified in the Calendar property of CultureInfo.DateTimeFormat.
For example, in GregorianCalendar, the GetWeekOfYear method for January 1 returns 1.
The following code example shows how the result of GetWeekOfYear varies depending on the FirstDayOfWeek and CalendarWeekRule values used. If the specified date is the last day of the year, GetWeekOfYear returns the total number of weeks in that year.
