Public Shared Function DaysInMonth (year As Integer, month As Integer) As Integer

Parameters

year: Int32

The year.

month: Int32

The month (a number ranging from 1 to 12).

Returns

Int32

The number of days in month for the specified year.

For example, if month equals 2 for February, the return value is 28 or 29 depending upon whether year is a leap year.

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

month is less than 1 or greater than 12.

-or-

year is less than 1 or greater than 9999.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the DaysInMonth method to determine the number of days in July 2001, February 1998 (a non-leap year), and February 1996 (a leap year).

using namespace System;

int main()
{
   const int July = 7;
   const int Feb = 2;
   
   int daysInJuly = System::DateTime::DaysInMonth( 2001, July );
   Console::WriteLine(daysInJuly);   
   // daysInFeb gets 28 because the year 1998 was not a leap year.
   int daysInFeb = System::DateTime::DaysInMonth( 1998, Feb );
   Console::WriteLine(daysInFeb);
   // daysInFebLeap gets 29 because the year 1996 was a leap year.
   int daysInFebLeap = System::DateTime::DaysInMonth( 1996, Feb );
   Console::WriteLine(daysInFebLeap);
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       31
//       28
//       29

open System

let July = 7
let Feb = 2

let daysInJuly = DateTime.DaysInMonth(2001, July)
printfn $"{daysInJuly}"

// daysInFeb gets 28 because the year 1998 was not a leap year.
let daysInFeb = DateTime.DaysInMonth(1998, Feb)
printfn $"{daysInFeb}"

// daysInFebLeap gets 29 because the year 1996 was a leap year.
let daysInFebLeap = DateTime.DaysInMonth(1996, Feb)
printfn $"{daysInFebLeap}"

// The example displays the following output:
//       31
//       28
//       29

Remarks

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.
