如何在C＃中将公历转换为科普特日期

Question

How to convert Gregorian calendar to Coptic calendar in C# ??

I have the following code:

public enum CopticMonth
{
    Thout = 1,
    Paopi = 2,
    Hathor = 3,
    Koiak = 4,
    Tobi = 5,
    Meshir = 6,
    Paremhat = 7,
    Parmouti = 8,
    Pashons = 9,
    Paoni = 10,
    Epip = 11,
    Mesori = 12,
    PiKogiEnavot = 13
}

public class CopticDate
{
    public int Day { get; set; }
    public CopticMonth Month { get; set; }
    public int Year { get; set; }
}

I need to implement the following method

public static CopticDate ToCopticDate(this DateTime date)
{
    //...        
}

Like Marc, I have NodaTime in my toolbox for jobs like this. You'll need to install the Nuget package .

The implementation is simple - we create a LocalDate object from the input date, and convert it to the Coptic calendar using .WithCalendar(CalendarSystem.Coptic) . We then return an instance of your class:

public static CopticDate ToCopticDate(this DateTime date)
{
    var localDate = LocalDate.FromDateTime(date, CalendarSystem.Gregorian)
                             .WithCalendar(CalendarSystem.Coptic);

    return new CopticDate
    {
        Day = localDate.Day,
        Month = (CopticMonth)localDate.Month,
        Year = localDate.Year
    };
}

With an input date of 6 September 2019, I get the following output:

Day: 1

Month: PiKogiEnavot

Year: 1735

which so far as I can tell is the expected output.
