MonthCalendarAdv Culture

[MHaji]

Hi,

we know that .Net 3.5 has Persian-Calendar with Solar-calendar type. but when i set the CultureInfo of MonthCalendarAdv in "fa-IR" the calendar view is in Georgine-calendar. i want to know if is a way to use the Persian-Calendar instead of Georgine-calendar in MonthCalendarAdv.

thanks :)

Hi,

You cannot display a persian calendar in MonthCalendarAdv, but can get the persian date using PersianCalendar class.

private void monthCalendarAdv1_SelectionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    PersianCalendar jc = new PersianCalendar();
    DateTime thisDate = this.monthCalendarAdv.SelectedDates[0];
    Console.WriteLine("Today is:");
    Console.WriteLine("   {0:ddd}, {0} in the Gregorian calendar.", thisDate);
    Console.WriteLine("   {0}, {1}/{2}/{3} {4}:{5}:{6} in the Persian calendar.",
                      jc.GetDayOfWeek(thisDate),
                      jc.GetMonth(thisDate),
                      jc.GetDayOfMonth(thisDate),
                      jc.GetYear(thisDate),
                      jc.GetHour(thisDate),
                      jc.GetMinute(thisDate),
                      jc.GetSecond(thisDate));
}

Hi

thanks for your attention.

this is the solution :

public void SetPersianCulture()
{
CultureInfo MyCulture = new CultureInfo("fa-IR");
DateTimeFormatInfo info = MyCulture.DateTimeFormat;
info.AbbreviatedDayNames = new string[] { "ی", "د", "س", "چ", "پ", "ج", "ش" };
info.DayNames = new string[] { "یکشنبه", "دوشنبه", "ﺳﻪشنبه", "چهارشنبه", "پنجشنبه", "جمعه", "شنبه" };
info.AbbreviatedMonthNames = new string[] { "فروردین", "ارديبهشت", "خرداد", "تير", "مرداد", "شهریور", "مهر", "آبان", "آذر", "دی", "بهمن", "اسفند", "" };
info.MonthNames = new string[] { "فروردین", "ارديبهشت", "خرداد", "تير", "مرداد", "شهریور", "مهر", "آبان", "آذر", "دی", "بهمن", "اسفند", "" };
info.ShortestDayNames = new string[] { "ی", "د", "س", "چ", "پ", "ج", "ش" };
info.AMDesignator = "ق.ظ";
info.PMDesignator = "ب.ظ";
info.ShortDatePattern = "yyyy/MM/dd";
info.FirstDayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.Saturday;
System.Globalization.PersianCalendar cal = new System.Globalization.PersianCalendar();
typeof(System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo).GetField("calendar", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Public | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic).SetValue(info, cal);
object obj = typeof(System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo).GetField("m_cultureTableRecord", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Public | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic).GetValue(info);
obj.GetType().GetMethod("UseCurrentCalendar", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance).Invoke(obj, new object[] { cal.GetType().GetProperty("ID", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic).GetValue(cal, null) });
typeof(System.Globalization.CultureInfo).GetField("calendar", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Public | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic).SetValue(MyCulture, cal);
typeof(System.Globalization.CultureInfo).GetField("calendar", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Public | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic).SetValue(MyCulture, cal);
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = MyCulture;
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = MyCulture;
}

you can use this item for example in Form-load procedure and then enjiy the real Persian-calendar and culture.
