Cannot convert from Hijri Date to Gregorian date (c#)
here is the code it is working well
now on this code I'm returning the date from the function as string not as datetime
, but you can simply using return datetime type instead on string
public string ConvertDateCalendar(DateTime DateConv, string Calendar, string DateLangCulture)
{
System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo DTFormat;
DateLangCulture = DateLangCulture.ToLower();
/// We can't have the hijri date writen in English. We will get a runtime error - LAITH - 11/13/2005 1:01:45 PM -
if (Calendar == "Hijri" && DateLangCulture.StartsWith("en-"))
{
DateLangCulture = "ar-sa";
}
/// Set the date time format to the given culture - LAITH - 11/13/2005 1:04:22 PM -
DTFormat = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo(DateLangCulture, false).DateTimeFormat;
/// Set the calendar property of the date time format to the given calendar - LAITH - 11/13/2005 1:04:52 PM -
switch (Calendar)
{
case "Hijri":
DTFormat.Calendar = new System.Globalization.HijriCalendar();
break;
case "Gregorian":
DTFormat.Calendar = new System.Globalization.GregorianCalendar();
break;
default:
return "";
}
/// We format the date structure to whatever we want - LAITH - 11/13/2005 1:05:39 PM -
DTFormat.ShortDatePattern = "dd/MM/yyyy";
return (DateConv.Date.ToString("f", DTFormat));
}
To call this Method here are an example
ltrCalValue.Text = ConvertDateCalendar(CalHijri.SelectedDate, "Gregorian", "en-US");
To call the Hijri
ltrCalValue.Text = ConvertDateCalendar(CalHijri.SelectedDate, "Hijri", "en-US");
