GregorianCalendar.GetEra Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Returns the era of a specified DateTime value.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Overrides Function GetEra ( _
    time As DateTime _
) As Integer

public override int GetEra(
    DateTime time
)

Parameters

time
Type: System.DateTime
The DateTime to read.

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
An integer that represents the era of time.

Remarks

The Gregorian calendar recognizes two eras: B.C. or B.C.E., and A.D. or C.E. This implementation of the GregorianCalendar class recognizes only the current era (A.D. or C.E.).

Examples

The following code example displays the values of several components of a DateTime in terms of the Gregorian calendar.

Imports System.Globalization

Public Class Example
   Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
      ' Sets a DateTime to April 3, 2002 of the Gregorian calendar.
      Dim myDT As New DateTime(2002, 4, 3, New GregorianCalendar())

      ' Creates an instance of the GregorianCalendar.
      Dim myCal As New GregorianCalendar()

      ' Displays the values of the DateTime.
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("April 3, 2002 of the Gregorian calendar:") & vbCrLf
      DisplayValues(outputBlock, myCal, myDT)

      ' Adds two years and ten months.
      myDT = myCal.AddYears(myDT, 2)
      myDT = myCal.AddMonths(myDT, 10)

      ' Displays the values of the DateTime.
      outputBlock.Text &= "After adding two years and ten months:" & vbCrLf
      DisplayValues(outputBlock, myCal, myDT)
   End Sub 

   Public Shared Sub DisplayValues(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock, _
                                   ByVal myCal As Calendar, ByVal myDT As DateTime)
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("   Era:        {0}", myCal.GetEra(myDT)) & vbCrLf
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("   Year:       {0}", myCal.GetYear(myDT)) & vbCrLf
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("   Month:      {0}", myCal.GetMonth(myDT)) & vbCrLf
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("   DayOfYear:  {0}", myCal.GetDayOfYear(myDT)) & vbCrLf
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("   DayOfMonth: {0}", myCal.GetDayOfMonth(myDT)) & vbCrLf
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("   DayOfWeek:  {0}", myCal.GetDayOfWeek(myDT)) & vbCrLf
      outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf
   End Sub 
End Class
