Getting number of days in a month

You want DateTime.DaysInMonth:

int days = DateTime.DaysInMonth(year, month);

Obviously it varies by year, as sometimes February has 28 days and sometimes 29. You could always pick a particular year (leap or not) if you want to "fix" it to one value or other.


Use System.DateTime.DaysInMonth, from code sample:

const int July = 7;
const int Feb = 2;

// daysInJuly gets 31.
int daysInJuly = System.DateTime.DaysInMonth(2001, July);

// daysInFeb gets 28 because the year 1998 was not a leap year.
int daysInFeb = System.DateTime.DaysInMonth(1998, Feb);

// daysInFebLeap gets 29 because the year 1996 was a leap year.
int daysInFebLeap = System.DateTime.DaysInMonth(1996, Feb);

To find the number of days in a month, DateTime class provides a method "DaysInMonth(int year, int month)". This method returns the total number of days in a specified month.

public int TotalNumberOfDaysInMonth(int year, int month)
    {
        return DateTime.DaysInMonth(year, month);
    }

OR

int days = DateTime.DaysInMonth(2018,05);

Output :- 31
