Calendar.GetWeekOfYear(DateTime, CalendarWeekRule, DayOfWeek) Method

Definition

Returns the week of the year that includes the date in the specified DateTime value.

public:
 virtual int GetWeekOfYear(DateTime time, System::Globalization::CalendarWeekRule rule, DayOfWeek firstDayOfWeek);
public virtual int GetWeekOfYear (DateTime time, System.Globalization.CalendarWeekRule rule, DayOfWeek firstDayOfWeek);
abstract member GetWeekOfYear : DateTime * System.Globalization.CalendarWeekRule * DayOfWeek -> int
override this.GetWeekOfYear : DateTime * System.Globalization.CalendarWeekRule * DayOfWeek -> int
Public Overridable Function GetWeekOfYear (time As DateTime, rule As CalendarWeekRule, firstDayOfWeek As DayOfWeek) As Integer

Parameters

time
DateTime

A date and time value.

rule
CalendarWeekRule

An enumeration value that defines a calendar week.

firstDayOfWeek
DayOfWeek

An enumeration value that represents the first day of the week.

Returns

A positive integer that represents the week of the year that includes the date in the time parameter.

Exceptions

time is earlier than MinSupportedDateTime or later than MaxSupportedDateTime.

-or-

firstDayOfWeek is not a valid DayOfWeek value.

-or-

rule is not a valid CalendarWeekRule value.

Examples

The following code example shows how the result of GetWeekOfYear varies depending on the FirstDayOfWeek and the CalendarWeekRule used. If the specified date is the last day of the year, GetWeekOfYear returns the total number of weeks in that year.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Globalization;
int main()
{
   
   // Gets the Calendar instance associated with a CultureInfo.
   CultureInfo^ myCI = gcnew CultureInfo( "en-US" );
   Calendar^ myCal = myCI->Calendar;
   
   // Gets the DTFI properties required by GetWeekOfYear.
   CalendarWeekRule myCWR = myCI->DateTimeFormat->CalendarWeekRule;
   DayOfWeek myFirstDOW = myCI->DateTimeFormat->FirstDayOfWeek;
   
   // Displays the number of the current week relative to the beginning of the year.
   Console::WriteLine( "The CalendarWeekRule used for the en-US culture is {0}.", myCWR );
   Console::WriteLine( "The FirstDayOfWeek used for the en-US culture is {0}.", myFirstDOW );
   Console::WriteLine( "Therefore, the current week is Week {0} of the current year.", myCal->GetWeekOfYear( DateTime::Now, myCWR, myFirstDOW ) );
   
   // Displays the total number of weeks in the current year.
   DateTime LastDay = System::DateTime( DateTime::Now.Year, 12, 31 );
   Console::WriteLine( "There are {0} weeks in the current year ( {1}).", myCal->GetWeekOfYear( LastDay, myCWR, myFirstDOW ), LastDay.Year );
}

Remarks

This method can be used to determine the number of weeks in the year by setting time to the last day of the year.

The DateTimeFormatInfo object for a particular culture that uses the calendar indicated by the DateTimeFormatInfo.Calendar property includes the following culture-specific values that can be used for the rule and firstDayOfWeek parameters:

Note

This does not map exactly to ISO 8601. The differences are discussed in the blog entry ISO 8601 Week of Year format in Microsoft .NET. Starting with .NET Core 3.0, ISOWeek.GetYear and ISOWeek.GetWeekOfYear solve this problem.

The following example uses the current culture's DateTimeFormatInfo object to determine that January 1, 2011 is in the first week of the year in the Gregorian calendar.

using System;
using System.Globalization;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      DateTimeFormatInfo dfi = DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo;
      DateTime date1 = new DateTime(2011, 1, 1);
      Calendar cal = dfi.Calendar;

      Console.WriteLine("{0:d}: Week {1} ({2})", date1,
                        cal.GetWeekOfYear(date1, dfi.CalendarWeekRule,
                                          dfi.FirstDayOfWeek),
                        cal.ToString().Substring(cal.ToString().LastIndexOf(".") + 1));
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       1/1/2011: Week 1 (GregorianCalendar)
Imports System.Globalization

Module Example
   Public Sub Main()
      Dim dfi As DateTimeFormatInfo = DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo
      Dim date1 As Date = #1/1/2011#
      Dim cal As Calendar = dfi.Calendar
      
      Console.WriteLine("{0:d}: Week {1} ({2})", date1, 
                        cal.GetWeekOfYear(date1, dfi.CalendarWeekRule, 
                                          dfi.FirstDayOfWeek),
                        cal.ToString().Substring(cal.ToString().LastIndexOf(".") + 1))       
   End Sub

' The example displays the following output:

For some calendars, a call to the GetWeekOfYear method throws an ArgumentOutOfRangeException for particular combinations of rule and firstDayOfWeek values even if time is greater than the date returned by that calendar's MinSupportedDateTime property. The following table lists the affected calendars, the specific rule values, and the range of the earliest supported time values. The specific minimum DateTime value depends on the value of the firstDayOfWeek parameter.
