System.Globalization.JapaneseCalendar.ToFourDigitYear Method

Converts the specified year to a four-digit year by using the JapaneseCalendar.TwoDigitYearMax property to determine the appropriate century.

Syntax

public override int ToFourDigitYear (int year)

Parameters

year
An integer (usually two digits) that represents the year to convert.

Returns

An integer that contains the four-digit representation of year.

Remarks

This method implements Calendar.ToFourDigitYear(int).

Because the year in the Japanese calendar is typically less than four digits long, this implementation always returns the value of the year parameter.

JapaneseCalendar.ToFourDigitYear(int) supports either a two-digit year or a four-digit year. However, a valid year is generally represented as two digits (less than 100). Passing a two-digit year value causes the method to convert the value to a four-digit value according to the JapaneseCalendar.TwoDigitYearMax value representing the appropriate century. If the application supplies a four-digit value, or if it supplies zero or a negative value, JapaneseCalendar.ToFourDigitYear(int) throws an exception.
