TaiwanCalendar.IsLeapYear Method (Int32, Int32)

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.

      outputBlock.Text &= "YEAR" + ControlChars.Tab
      Dim y As Integer
      For y = 90 To 94
         outputBlock.Text += String.Format(ControlChars.Tab + "{0}", y)

      ' Checks five years in the current era.
      outputBlock.Text &= "CurrentEra:"
