Struct AnnualDate

Represents an annual date (month and day) in the ISO calendar but without a specific year, typically for recurrent events such as birthdays, anniversaries, and deadlines.
Since 2.0.x
Availability net45, netstandard1.3
Implements
IEquatable<AnnualDate>
IComparable<AnnualDate>
Inherited Members
Object.Equals(Object, Object)
Object.ReferenceEquals(Object, Object)
Object.GetType()
Namespace: NodaTime
Assembly: NodaTime.dll
Syntax
public struct AnnualDate : IEquatable<AnnualDate>, IComparable<AnnualDate>
Remarks
In the future, this struct may be expanded to support other calendar systems, but this does not generalize terribly cleanly, particularly to the Hebrew calendar system with its leap month.

Constructors

AnnualDate(Int32, Int32)

Constructs an instance for the given month and day in the ISO calendar.
Since 2.0.x
Availability net45, netstandard1.3
Declaration
public AnnualDate(int month, int day)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Int32 month The month of year.
Int32 day The day of month.
Exceptions
Type Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException The parameters do not form a valid date. (February 29th is considered valid.)

Properties

Day

Gets the day of month.
Since 2.0.x
Availability net45, netstandard1.3
Declaration
public int Day { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
Int32 The day of month.

Month

Gets the month of year.
Since 2.0.x
Availability net45, netstandard1.3
Declaration
public int Month { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
Int32 The month of year.

Methods

CompareTo(AnnualDate)

Indicates whether this annual date is earlier, later or the same as another one.
Since 2.0.x
Availability net45, netstandard1.3
Declaration
public int CompareTo(AnnualDate other)
Parameters
Type Name Description
AnnualDate other The other annual date to compare this one with
Returns
Type Description
Int32 A value less than zero if this annual date is earlier than other; zero if this time is the same as other; a value greater than zero if this annual date is later than other.

Equals(AnnualDate)

Compares this annual date with the specified one for equality, by checking whether the two values represent the same annual date - the same month and day.
Since 2.0.x
Availability net45, netstandard1.3
Declaration
public bool Equals(AnnualDate other)
Parameters
Type Name Description
AnnualDate other The other annual date to compare this one with
Returns
Type Description
Boolean True if the specified annual date is equal to this one; false otherwise

Equals(Object)

Compares this annual date with the specified reference. An annual date is only equal to another annual date with the same month and day values.
Since 2.0.x
Availability net45, netstandard1.3
Declaration
public override bool Equals(object obj)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Object obj The object to compare this one with
Returns
Type Description
Boolean True if the specified value is an annual date which is equal to this one; false otherwise
Overrides
System.ValueType.Equals(System.Object)

GetHashCode()

Returns a hash code for this annual date.
Since 2.0.x
Availability net45, netstandard1.3
Declaration
public override int GetHashCode()
Returns
Type Description
Int32 A hash code for this annual date.
Overrides
System.ValueType.GetHashCode()

InYear(Int32)

Returns this annual date in a particular year, as a LocalDate.
Since 2.0.x
Availability net45, netstandard1.3
Declaration
public LocalDate InYear(int year)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Int32 year The year component of the required date.
Returns
Type Description
LocalDate A date in the given year, suitable for this annual date.
Remarks

If this value represents February 29th, and the specified year is not a leap year, the returned value will be February 28th of that year. To see whether the original month and day is valid without truncation in a particular year, use IsValidYear(Int32)

IsValidYear(Int32)

Checks whether the specified year forms a valid date with the month/day in this value, without any truncation. This will always return true except for values representing February 29th, where the specified year is a non leap year.
Since 2.0.x
Availability net45, netstandard1.3
Declaration
public bool IsValidYear(int year)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Int32 year The year to test for validity
Returns
Type Description
Boolean true if the current value occurs within the given year; false otherwise.

ToString()

Returns a System.String that represents this instance.
Since 2.0.x
Availability net45, netstandard1.3
Declaration
public override string ToString()
Returns
Type Description
String The value of the current instance, in the form MM-dd.
Overrides
System.ValueType.ToString()

Parameters
Type Name Description
AnnualDate lhs The first value to compare
AnnualDate rhs The second value to compare
