Based on the amount of articles out there relating to hebrew dating (and I don't mean a singles bar!) there's always confusion on how exactly to translate a date into its full hebrew representation. Here's a simple method that does this, based on information which is easily available via this article.
C#
/// <summary> /// Returns the Juwish formatted date /// </summary> /// <param name="anyDate">Any valid date</param> /// <param name="addDayOfWeek">Set this option to add the day of the week to the formatted date</param> /// <returns>A string containing the Juwish formatted date</returns> public static string GetHebrewJuwishDateString(DateTime anyDate, bool addDayOfWeek) { System.Text.StringBuilder hebrewFormatedString = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
// Create the hebrew culture to use hebrew (Juwish) calendar CultureInfo juwishCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("he-IL"); juwishCulture.DateTimeFormat.Calendar = new HebrewCalendar();
#region Format the date into a Juwish format
if (addDayOfWeek) { // Day of the week in the format " " hebrewFormatedString.Append(anyDate.ToString("dddd", juwishCulture) + " "); }
// Day of the month in the format "'" hebrewFormatedString.Append(anyDate.ToString("dd", juwishCulture) + " ");
// Month and year in the format " " hebrewFormatedString.Append("" + anyDate.ToString("y", juwishCulture));
#endregion
return hebrewFormatedString.ToString();
}
