The DaysInMonth method always interprets month and year as the month and year of the Gregorian calendar even if the Gregorian calendar is not the current culture's current calendar. To get the number of days in a specified month of a particular calendar, call that calendar's GetDaysInMonth method.
The following example demonstrates the DaysInMonth method.
Const July As Integer = 7 Const Feb As Integer = 2 ' daysInJuly gets 31. Dim daysInJuly As Integer = System.DateTime.DaysInMonth(2001, July) ' daysInFeb gets 28 because the year 1998 was not a leap year. Dim daysInFeb As Integer = System.DateTime.DaysInMonth(1998, Feb) ' daysInFebLeap gets 29 because the year 1996 was a leap year. Dim daysInFebLeap As Integer = System.DateTime.DaysInMonth(1996, Feb)
