public override bool IsLeapYear (int year, int era);

override this.IsLeapYear : int * int -> bool

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

Parameters

year: Int32

An integer that represents the year.

era: Int32

An integer that represents the era.

Returns

Boolean

true if the specified year is a leap year; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

Examples

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

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Globalization;
int main()
{
   
   // Creates and initializes a GregorianCalendar.
   GregorianCalendar^ myCal = gcnew GregorianCalendar;
   
   // Displays the header.
   Console::Write( "YEAR\t" );
   for ( int y = 2001; y <= 2005; y++ )
      Console::Write( "\t {0}", y );
   Console::WriteLine();
   
   // Checks five years in the current era.
   Console::Write( "CurrentEra:" );
   for ( int y = 2001; y <= 2005; y++ )
      Console::Write( "\t {0}", myCal->IsLeapYear( y, GregorianCalendar::CurrentEra ) );
   Console::WriteLine();
   
   // Checks five years in each of the eras.
   for ( int i = 0; i < myCal->Eras->Length; i++ )
   {
      Console::Write( "Era {0}:\t", myCal->Eras[ i ] );
      for ( int y = 2001; y <= 2005; y++ )
         Console::Write( "\t {0}", myCal->IsLeapYear( y, myCal->Eras[ i ] ) );
      Console::WriteLine();

   }
}

Remarks

A leap year in the Gregorian calendar is defined as a year that is evenly divisible by four, except if it is divisible by 100. However, years that are divisible by 400 are leap years. For example, the year 1900 was not a leap year, but the year 2000 was. A common year has 365 days and a leap year has 366 days.
