Hi Omid and Connie,
MSDN way of specifying Hijri calendar is like saying the length of any month in Gregorian calendar is 30 days plus or minus two days -- true but not very useful. Alright my example is grossly exaggerated, but I mean to highlight my point.

In Iran we use the Iranian subtype of the Persian calendar,

When exactly? I know that not all of 1357 was known as 2537.
In Early 1357 it was abolished. Does it really matter? It is only a

Hi,
Thank you for the refinements and clarifications. Maybe I've used to
the old Mac OS calendar API which used to correctly support dates way
