PersianCalendar.TwoDigitYearMax Property
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Gets or sets the last year of a 100-year range that can be represented by a 2-digit year.
Namespace: System.Globalization
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Overrides Property TwoDigitYearMax As Integer
public override int TwoDigitYearMax { get; set; }
Property Value
Type: System.Int32
The last year of a 100-year range that can be represented by a 2-digit year.
Exceptions
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| InvalidOperationException | This calendar is read-only. |
| ArgumentOutOfRangeException | The value in a set operation is less than 100 or greater than 9378. |
Remarks
This property allows a 2-digit year to be properly translated to a 4-digit year. For example, if this property is set to 2029, the 100-year range is from 1930 to 2029. Therefore, a 2-digit value of 30 is interpreted as 1930, while a 2-digit value of 29 is interpreted as 2029.
The initial value of this property is derived from the settings in the regional and language options in Control Panel. However, that information can change during the life of the AppDomain. The PersianCalendar class does not detect changes in the system settings automatically. If the calendar is not supported in the regional and language options, the initial value of this property is the default value defined by the calendar class.
The application should set this value to 99 to indicate that 2-digit years are to be taken literally. For example, if this property is set to 99, the 100-year range is from 0 (not a valid value for most calendars) to 99. Therefore, a 2-digit value of 30 is interpreted as 30.
