Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Determines whether the specified year in the specified era is a leap year.
Namespace: System.Globalization
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Overrides Function IsLeapYear ( _
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 |
|---|---|
| ArgumentOutOfRangeException | year is outside the range supported by the calendar. -or- era is outside the range supported by the calendar. |
Remarks
Leap years in the Taiwan calendar correspond to the same leap years in the Gregorian calendar. A leap year in the Gregorian calendar is defined as a Gregorian year that is evenly divisible by four, except if it is divisible by 100. However, Gregorian years that are divisible by 400 are leap years. A common year has 365 days and a leap year has 366 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 TaiwanCalendar.
Dim myCal As New TaiwanCalendar()
' Displays the header.
outputBlock.Text &= "YEAR" + ControlChars.Tab
Dim y As Integer
For y = 90 To 94
outputBlock.Text += String.Format(ControlChars.Tab + "{0}", y)
Next
outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf
' Checks five years in the current era.
outputBlock.Text &= "CurrentEra:"
For y = 90 To 94
outputBlock.Text += String.Format(ControlChars.Tab + "{0}", myCal.IsLeapYear(y, TaiwanCalendar.CurrentEra))
Next
outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf
' Checks five years in each of the eras.
For i As Integer = 0 To myCal.Eras.Length - 1
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Era {0}:" + ControlChars.Tab, myCal.Eras(i))
For y = 90 To 94
outputBlock.Text += String.Format(ControlChars.Tab + "{0}", myCal.IsLeapYear(y, myCal.Eras(i)))
Next
outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf
Next
End Sub
End Class
' This example produces the following output.
' YEAR 90 91 92 93 94
' CurrentEra: False False False True False
' Era 1: False False False True False
