year As Integer, _
era As Integer _
) As Boolean
public override bool IsLeapYear(
int year,
int era
)
Parameters
- year
Type: System.Int32
An integer that represents the year.
- era
Type: System.Int32
An integer that represents the era.
Return Value
Type: System.Boolean
true if the specified year is a leap year; otherwise, false.
Exceptions
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|

Remarks
In every 30-year cycle that ends with a year that is evenly divisible by 30, the 2nd, 5th, 7th, 10th, 13th, 16th, 18th, 21st, 24th, 26th, and 29th years are leap years. A common year has 354 days and a leap year has 355 days.
Examples
The following code example calls the IsLeapYear method for five years in each of the eras.
Imports System.Globalization
Public Class Example
Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
' Creates and initializes a HijriCalendar.
Dim myCal As New HijriCalendar()
' Displays the header.
outputBlock.Text &= "YEAR" + ControlChars.Tab
Dim y As Integer
For y = 1421 To 1425
outputBlock.Text += String.Format(ControlChars.Tab + "{0}", y)
Next y
outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf
' Checks five years in the current era.
outputBlock.Text &= "CurrentEra:"
For y = 1421 To 1425
outputBlock.Text += String.Format(ControlChars.Tab + "{0}", myCal.IsLeapYear(y, HijriCalendar.CurrentEra))
Next y
outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf
' Checks five years in each of the eras.
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To myCal.Eras.Length - 1
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Era {0}:" + ControlChars.Tab, myCal.Eras(i))
For y = 1421 To 1425
outputBlock.Text += String.Format(ControlChars.Tab + "{0}", myCal.IsLeapYear(y, myCal.Eras(i)))
Next y
outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf
Next i
End Sub
