Namespace:  System.Globalization
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

'Declaration
Public Overrides Function IsLeapYear ( _
	year As Integer, _
	era As Integer _
) As Boolean

Parameters

year
Type: System.Int32
An integer that represents the year.
era
Type: System.Int32
An integer that represents the era.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the specified year is a leap year; otherwise, false.

ExceptionCondition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

era is outside the range supported by this calendar.

-or-

year is outside the range supported by this calendar.

In every 30-year cycle that ends with a year that is evenly divisible by 30, the 2nd, 5th, 7th, 10th, 13th, 16th, 18th, 21st, 24th, 26th, and 29th years are leap years. A common year has 354 days and a leap year has 355 days.

The following code example calls the IsLeapYear method for five years in each of the eras.

   Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
      ' Creates and initializes a HijriCalendar.
      Dim myCal As New HijriCalendar()

      ' Displays the header.
      outputBlock.Text &= "YEAR" + ControlChars.Tab
      Dim y As Integer
      For y = 1421 To 1425
         outputBlock.Text += String.Format(ControlChars.Tab + "{0}", y)
      Next y
      outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf

      ' Checks five years in the current era.
      outputBlock.Text &= "CurrentEra:"
      For y = 1421 To 1425
         outputBlock.Text += String.Format(ControlChars.Tab + "{0}", myCal.IsLeapYear(y, HijriCalendar.CurrentEra))
      Next y
      outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf

      ' Checks five years in each of the eras.
      Dim i As Integer
      For i = 0 To myCal.Eras.Length - 1
         outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Era {0}:" + ControlChars.Tab, myCal.Eras(i))
         For y = 1421 To 1425
            outputBlock.Text += String.Format(ControlChars.Tab + "{0}", myCal.IsLeapYear(y, myCal.Eras(i)))
         Next y
         outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf
      Next i
   End Sub
End Class 
'This code produces the following output.
'       YEAR            1421    1422    1423    1424    1425
'       CurrentEra:     False   False   True    False   False
'       Era 1:          False   False   True    False   False
