State holidays

[Bob]

In .NET, is there an easy way to determine State Holidays, such as
Thanksgiving, Memorial day, etc?
Any reference is appreciated.

Roll your own class. The state holidays will be available on the web. Or use
google, there are lots of examples. It depends on how it will fit within
what you are trying to do.

Speaking of state holidays...

Don't you find it funny that every religious holiday is in December?

Why is Dec 25 the only date that is really given off? What happened to
separation of Church and State? Sure... I know its called a "Winter
Holiday" on Dec 25... but why the 25th? What about the Jewish people? I'm
sure they don't care about dec 25... you know, espeically not believing that
catholic/christian viewpoint of "Jesus is the messiah".

And haven't we had enough of religion yet?

It's because of a majority thing... in college they do it right, give the
whole month off for "winter vacation"... if you where to give holidays off
for every religion we'd never do anything really... it's kind of a
concession... give everyone a day off no matter the religion where the
majority stands... if you want the other days off also, you can request them
as religious holidays and they can't legally dock you for time or anything
in the USA at least...

Bob,

Thanksgiving is always the 4th Thursday in November, Labor Day is always the
1st Monday in September and Memorial Day is always the last Monday in May.

For any others, search past year's calendars for the patterns.

It might be a good idea if people looked these things up before they travel
too far down the road :-)

Even Thanksgiving is only the 4th Thursday in November "today in the US" it
was not always that day and it isn't that day in Canada. I'm not arguing
about it BTW I'm simply pointing out that it's usefulness as "information"
depends upon what the app is expected to do.

Hi Tom,

Here in Europe we dont have that long our summertime, but it is in the
Windows system and nobody here has a problem with it. Only the guys at
Microsoft because the cannot make a good table on the web.

According to a few sites on the subject:
"Europe's Summer Time Period begins a week earlier than its North American
Counterpart, but ends at the same time."

Others point out that Germany adopted it in 1915, Great Britain in April
1916 but that it has alternatively used it and tried not to use it. My
point is that if you want to know what time it is you have to do much more
than simply ask. You have to supply a country name (minimally) and a date
so it can find out what rules were in effect at the time.

Look here is a chart... if everybody did it the same why would a chart even
be required?

Hi Tom,

Never reference about European countries so far in historie, to much is
happened in that time for old communist countries you can even not go back
before 1990.

Dont forget that we are also now more and more one country.
