Remarks

A calendar divides time into units, such as weeks, months, and years. The number, length, and start of the divisions vary in each calendar.

Note

For information about using the calendar classes in .NET, see Working with Calendars.

Any moment in time can be represented as a set of numeric values using a particular calendar. For example, a vernal equinox occurred at (1999, 3, 20, 8, 46, 0, 0.0) in the Gregorian calendar, that is, March 20, 1999 C.E. at 8:46:00:0.0. An implementation of Calendar can map any date in the range of a specific calendar to a similar set of numeric values, and DateTime can map such sets of numeric values to a textual representation using information from Calendar and DateTimeFormatInfo. The textual representation can be culture-sensitive, for example, "8:46 AM March 20th 1999 AD" for the en-US culture, or culture-insensitive, for example, "1999-03-20T08:46:00" in ISO 8601 format.

A Calendar implementation can define one or more eras. The Calendar class identifies the eras as enumerated integers, where the current era (CurrentEra) has the value 0.

Important

Eras in the Japanese calendars are based on the emperor's reign and are therefore expected to change. For example, May 1, 2019 marked the beginning of the Reiwa era in the JapaneseCalendar and JapaneseLunisolarCalendar. Such a change of era affects all applications that use these calendars. For more information and to determine whether your applications are affected, see Handling a new era in the Japanese calendar in .NET. For information on testing your applications on Windows systems to ensure their readiness for the era change, see Prepare your application for the Japanese era change. For features in .NET that support calendars with multiple eras and for best practices when working with calendars that support multiple eras, see Working with eras.

To make up for the difference between the calendar year and the actual time that the earth rotates around the sun or the actual time that the moon rotates around the earth, a leap year has a different number of days from a standard calendar year. Each Calendar implementation defines leap years differently.

For consistency, the first unit in each interval (the first month, for example) is assigned the value 1.

The System.Globalization namespace includes the following Calendar implementations:
