DateTime.DaysInMonth() Method in C#


The DateTime.DaysInMonth() method in C# is used to return the number of days in the specified month and year. For example, 31 for month value 1 i.e. January.

Syntax

Following is the syntax −

public static int DaysInMonth (int year, int month);

Example

Let us now see an example to implement the DateTime.DaysInMonth() method −

using System;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main() {
      DateTime date1 = new DateTime(2019, 08, 20, 6, 20, 40);
      DateTime date2 = new DateTime(2019, 06, 20, 6, 20, 40);
      Console.WriteLine("DateTime 1 = {0:dd} {0:y}, {0:hh}:{0:mm}:{0:ss} ", date1);
      Console.WriteLine("Days in DateTime 1 month = "+DateTime.DaysInMonth(2019, 08));
      Console.WriteLine("
DateTime 2 = {0:dd} {0:y}, {0:hh}:{0:mm}:{0:ss} ", date2);       Console.WriteLine("Days in DateTime 2 month = "+DateTime.DaysInMonth(2019, 06));       int res = date1.CompareTo(date2);       // returns >0 since date1 is later than date2       Console.WriteLine("
Return Value (comparison) = "+res);    } }

Output

This will produce the following output −

DateTime 1 = 20 August 2019, 06:20:40
Days in DateTime 1 month = 31
DateTime 2 = 20 June 2019, 06:20:40
Days in DateTime 2 month = 30
Return Value (comparison) = 1

Example

Let us now see another example to implement the DateTime.DaysInMonth() method −

using System;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main(){
      int year1 = 2019, year2 = 2016;
      int FebMonth = 2;
      Console.WriteLine("Days in 2019, Feb month = "+DateTime.DaysInMonth(year1, FebMonth));
      Console.WriteLine("Days in 2016, Feb month = "+DateTime.DaysInMonth(year2, FebMonth));
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following output −

Days in 2019, Feb month = 28
Days in 2016, Feb month = 29
