Examples
The following example calls IsLeapDay for the last day of the second month (February) for five years in each of the eras.
using namespace System;
using namespace System::Globalization;
int main()
{
// Creates and initializes a JulianCalendar.
JulianCalendar^ myCal = gcnew JulianCalendar;
// Creates a holder for the last day of the second month (February).
int iLastDay;
// 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++ )
{
iLastDay = myCal->GetDaysInMonth( y, 2, JulianCalendar::CurrentEra );
Console::Write( "\t {0}", myCal->IsLeapDay( y, 2, iLastDay, JulianCalendar::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++ )
{
iLastDay = myCal->GetDaysInMonth( y, 2, myCal->Eras[ i ] );
Console::Write( "\t {0}", myCal->IsLeapDay( y, 2, iLastDay, myCal->Eras[ i ] ) );
}
Console::WriteLine();
}
}

Remarks
Unlike the Gregorian calendar, the Julian calendar defines a leap year as a year that is evenly divisible by four with no exceptions. Therefore, the calendar is inaccurate by one day every 128 years. For example, the year 1999 was not a leap year, but the year 2000 was. A common year has 365 days and a leap year has 366 days.
A leap day is a day that occurs only in a leap year. In the Julian calendar, the 29th day of February is the only leap day.
