calendar

The Calendar that applies to this DateTime.

The allowable values for year, month, and day depend on the specified Calendar. An exception is thrown if the specified date and time cannot be expressed using calendar.

The System.Globalization namespace provides several calendars including GregorianCalendar and JulianCalendar.

The following demonstrates using this constructor.

// create a new instance of DateTime containing the date
// 7/28/1979 at 10:35:05 PM using the en-US calendar.
System.Globalization.CultureInfo info =
   new System.Globalization.CultureInfo ( "en-US", false );

System.Globalization.Calendar calendar = info.Calendar;

System.DateTime dateTime =
   new System.DateTime ( 1979,      // Year
                  07,         // Month
                  28,         // Day
                  22,         // Hour
                  35,         // Minute
                  5,         // Second
                  15,         // Millisecond
                  calendar   // calendar
                   );

// Write the DateTime as "Saturday, July 28, 1979 10:35:05 PM".
System.Response.WriteLine ( "{ 0:F }", dateTime );

' create a new instance of DateTime containing the date
         ' 7/28/1979 at 10:35:05 PM using the en-US calendar.
Dim info As New System.Globalization.CultureInfo ( "en-US", false )
         Dim cal As System.Globalization.Calendar
cal = info.Calendar

Dim myDateTime As New System.DateTime ( 1979, 7, 28, 22, 35, _
                                      5, 15, cal )

' Write the DateTime as "Saturday, July 28, 1979 10:35:05 PM".
System.Response.WriteLine ( "{ 0:F }", myDateTime )
