      PersianCalendar jc = new PersianCalendar();
      DateTime thisDate = DateTime.Now;

      Console.WriteLine("GetMonthsInYear: months in a year = {0}",
                        jc.GetMonthsInYear(thisDate.Year, PersianCalendar.PersianEra));

                        PersianCalendar.PersianEra));
        //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Console.WriteLine("IsLeapMonth: This is a leap month = {0}",

        //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Console.WriteLine("IsLeapYear: 1370 is a leap year = {0}",
                        jc.IsLeapYear(1370, PersianCalendar.PersianEra));
        //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        // Get the 4-digit year for a year whose last two digits are 99. The 4-digit year
        // depends on the current value of the TwoDigitYearMax property.

      Console.WriteLine("ToFourDigitYear:");
      Console.WriteLine("  If TwoDigitYearMax = {0}, ToFourDigitYear(99) = {1}",
                         jc.TwoDigitYearMax, jc.ToFourDigitYear(99));
      jc.TwoDigitYearMax = thisDate.Year;
      Console.WriteLine("  If TwoDigitYearMax = {0}, ToFourDigitYear(99) = {1}",
                        jc.TwoDigitYearMax, jc.ToFourDigitYear(99));
    }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       ........... Selected Properties .....................
//
//       Eras: era = 1
//
//       TwoDigitYearMax = 99
//
//       ............ Selected Methods .......................

//       GetDayOfYear: day = 1
//       GetDaysInMonth: days = 31
//       GetDaysInYear: days = 365
//       GetLeapMonth: leap month (if any) = 0
//       GetMonthsInYear: months in a year = 12
//       IsLeapDay: This is a leap day = False
//       IsLeapMonth: This is a leap month = False
//       IsLeapYear: 1370 is a leap year = True
//       ToFourDigitYear:
//         If TwoDigitYearMax = 99, ToFourDigitYear(99) = 99
//         If TwoDigitYearMax = 2012, ToFourDigitYear(99) = 1999

Remarks

The Kind property of the returned DateTime value always equals DateTimeKind.Unspecified. You can preserve the Kind property of the time parameter by calling the DateTime.SpecifyKind method, as the following example shows.

C#

returnTime = DateTime.SpecifyKind(cal.AddMonths(time, months), time.Kind);
