Property Value

Type: System.Globalization::GregorianCalendarTypes

A GregorianCalendarTypes value that denotes the language version of the current GregorianCalendar.

Exception Condition

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

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

   // Calendar* myOptCals[] = new CultureInfo(S"ar-SA") -> OptionalCalendars;
   CultureInfo^ MyCI = gcnew CultureInfo( "ar-SA" );
   array<Calendar^>^myOptCals = MyCI->OptionalCalendars;

   // Checks which ones are GregorianCalendar then determines the GregorianCalendar version.
   Console::WriteLine( "The ar-SA culture supports the following calendars:" );
   IEnumerator^ myEnum = myOptCals->GetEnumerator();
   while ( myEnum->MoveNext() )
   {
      Calendar^ cal = safe_cast<Calendar^>(myEnum->Current);
      if ( cal->GetType() == GregorianCalendar::typeid )
      {
         GregorianCalendar^ myGreCal = dynamic_cast<GregorianCalendar^>(cal);
         GregorianCalendarTypes calType = myGreCal->CalendarType;
         Console::WriteLine( " {0} ( {1})", cal, calType );
      }
      else
            Console::WriteLine( " {0}", cal );
   }
}

/*
This code produces the following output.

 System.Globalization.HijriCalendar
 System.Globalization.GregorianCalendar ( USEnglish)
 System.Globalization.GregorianCalendar ( MiddleEastFrench)
 System.Globalization.GregorianCalendar ( Arabic)
