    Number of days in a year is a constant (varies for a leap year). Number of days in any given month is going to be a constant (except for February in a leap year). Which part of this are you having a difficulty with?

    thank you for your replay and you solved the problem and i remembered that if we want to know if February in a leap year or not by divided the year by 4 and if the result is an integer number it will be leap year such as 2004/4=501 this is a leap year and 2005/4=501.25 it's not a leap year and i'll to try it by code Many thanks for all

      Ooh - not quite. If it's a century, it has to be divisible by 400 to be a leap year, so 2000 is a leap year and 2100 isn't.

        use modulus (provides the remainder after a division) not divide...

        if(year % 4 == 0)
        //is leap year
        else
        //not leap year

                  int daysInMonth = DateTime.DaysInMonth(2009, 2);
                  Console.WriteLine(daysInMonth);

                      Ok this is what you should use instead...

                      if(year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 == 0 ? year % 400 == 0 : true)//hope you get that logic
                      //is leap year
                      else
                      //not leap year

                          Then you just use variables in the call to the DaysInMonth method instead of the literal values used in the example.

                          Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

                            Or if you don't want to reinvent the wheel:

                            if (DateTime.IsLeapYear(year)) {
                            // is leap year
                            } else {
                            // not leap year
                            }

                            ;)

                                    }
                                    }

                                    Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.
