The following code example compares different implementations of the Calendar class.

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

   // Creates an instance of every Calendar type.
   array<Calendar^>^myCals = gcnew array<Calendar^>(8);
   myCals[ 0 ] = gcnew GregorianCalendar;
   myCals[ 1 ] = gcnew HebrewCalendar;
   myCals[ 2 ] = gcnew HijriCalendar;
   myCals[ 3 ] = gcnew JapaneseCalendar;
   myCals[ 4 ] = gcnew JulianCalendar;
   myCals[ 5 ] = gcnew KoreanCalendar;
   myCals[ 6 ] = gcnew TaiwanCalendar;
   myCals[ 7 ] = gcnew ThaiBuddhistCalendar;

   // For each calendar, displays the current year, the number of months in that year,
   // and the number of days in each month of that year.
      int i;
   int j;
   int iYear;
   int iMonth;
   int iDay;
   DateTime myDT = DateTime::Today;
   for ( i = 0; i < myCals->Length; i++ )
   {
      iYear = myCals[ i ]->GetYear( myDT );
      Console::WriteLine();
      Console::WriteLine( " {0}, Year: {1}", myCals[ i ]->GetType(), myCals[ i ]->GetYear( myDT ) );
      Console::WriteLine( "   MonthsInYear: {0}", myCals[ i ]->GetMonthsInYear( iYear ) );
      Console::WriteLine( "   DaysInYear: {0}", myCals[ i ]->GetDaysInYear( iYear ) );
      Console::WriteLine( "   Days in each month:" );
      Console::Write( "      " );
      for ( j = 1; j <= myCals[ i ]->GetMonthsInYear( iYear ); j++ )
         Console::Write( " {0, -5}", myCals[ i ]->GetDaysInMonth( iYear, j ) );
      Console::WriteLine();
      iMonth = myCals[ i ]->GetMonth( myDT );
      iDay = myCals[ i ]->GetDayOfMonth( myDT );
      Console::WriteLine( "   IsLeapDay: {0}", myCals[ i ]->IsLeapDay( iYear, iMonth, iDay ) );
      Console::WriteLine( "   IsLeapMonth: {0}", myCals[ i ]->IsLeapMonth( iYear, iMonth ) );
      Console::WriteLine( "   IsLeapYear: {0}", myCals[ i ]->IsLeapYear( iYear ) );

   }
}
