Examples

The following code example displays the values contained in JapaneseCalendar.Eras.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Globalization;
int main()
{
   
   // Creates and initializes a JapaneseCalendar.
   JapaneseCalendar^ myCal = gcnew JapaneseCalendar;
   
   // Displays the values in the Eras property.
   for ( int i = 0; i < myCal->Eras->Length; i++ )
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "Eras[ {0}] = {1}", i, myCal->Eras[ i ] );

   }
}

/*
This code produces the following output.

Eras->Item[0] = 4
Eras->Item[1] = 3
Eras->Item[2] = 2
Eras->Item[3] = 1

*/
using System;
using System.Globalization;


public class SamplesJapaneseCalendar  {

   public static void Main()  {

      // Creates and initializes a JapaneseCalendar.
      JapaneseCalendar myCal = new JapaneseCalendar();

      // Displays the values in the Eras property.
      for ( int i = 0; i < myCal.Eras.Length; i++ )  {
         Console.WriteLine( "Eras[{0}] = {1}", i, myCal.Eras[i] );
      }

   }

}

/*
This code produces the following output.

Eras[0] = 4
Eras[1] = 3
Eras[2] = 2
Eras[3] = 1

*/
Imports System
Imports System.Globalization

Public Class SamplesJapaneseCalendar

   Public Shared Sub Main()

      ' Creates and initializes a JapaneseCalendar.
      Dim myCal As New JapaneseCalendar()

      ' Displays the values in the Eras property.
      Dim i As Integer
      For i = 0 To myCal.Eras.Length - 1
         Console.WriteLine("Eras[{0}] = {1}", i, myCal.Eras(i))
      Next i

   End Sub 'Main 

End Class 'SamplesJapaneseCalendar

'This code produces the following output.
'
'Eras[0] = 4
'Eras[1] = 3
'Eras[2] = 2
'Eras[3] = 1
'

Remarks

The eras are in reverse chronological order, with the current era as the first element of the array, and the oldest era as the last element of the array. For example, the value of the current era in JapaneseCalendar is 4, which is the first element of the array.
