Syntax
public class ThaiBuddhistCalendar : Calendar
Remarks
The Thai Buddhist calendar works exactly like the Gregorian calendar, except that the year and era are different.
For information about using the System.Globalization.ThaiBuddhistCalendar class and the other calendar classes in the .NET Framework, see Working with Calendars.
The System.Globalization.ThaiBuddhistCalendar class recognizes only the current era.
Leap years in the Thai Buddhist 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.
The Thai Buddhist calendar has 12 months with 28 to 31 days each:

February has 29 days during leap years and 28 during common years.
The date January 1, 2001 A.D. in the Gregorian calendar is equivalent to the first day of January in the year 2544 of the current era in the Thai Buddhist calendar.
Each System.Globalization.CultureInfo supports a set of calendars. The CultureInfo.Calendar property returns the default calendar for the culture, and the CultureInfo.OptionalCalendars property returns an array containing all the calendars supported by the culture. To change the calendar used by a System.Globalization.CultureInfo, the application should set the DateTimeFormatInfo.Calendar property of CultureInfo.DateTimeFormat to a new System.Globalization.Calendar.
