System.Globalization.HebrewCalendar.GetLeapMonth Method

Calculates the leap month for a specified year and era.

Syntax

public override int GetLeapMonth (int year, int era)

Parameters

year
A year.
era
An era. Specify either HebrewCalendar.HebrewEra or HebrewCalendar.Eras[Calendar.CurrentEra].

Returns

A positive integer that indicates the leap month in the specified year and era. The return value is 7 if the year and era parameters specify a leap year, or 0 if the year is not a leap year.

Remarks

In a calendar that supports the notion of a leap month, the leap month can occur either after a particular month or after any month in a year. For example, the EastAsianLunisolarCalendar.GetMonth(DateTime) method returns a number between 1 and 13 that indicates the month associated with a specified date. If there is a leap month between the eighth and ninth months of the year, the EastAsianLunisolarCalendar.GetMonth(DateTime) method returns 8 for the eighth month, 9 for the leap eighth month, and 10 for the ninth month.
