This code snippet determines the last day of the month for a given date. Here's a breakdown of what each line does:
-
var now = Model.Payslip.PaymentPeriod.DateStart;
:
This retrieves a starting date (DateStart
) from thePaymentPeriod
property ofModel.Payslip
and assigns it to the variablenow
. -
var daysInMonth = DateTime.DaysInMonth(now.Year, now.Month);
:
TheDateTime.DaysInMonth
method is used to calculate the total number of days in the month of thenow
date (based on its year and month). This accounts for leap years if the month is February. -
var lastDay = new DateTime(now.Year, now.Month, daysInMonth);
:
Using the year and month fromnow
and the calculated total days in that month, this creates a newDateTime
object representing the last day of the month.
Example:
If now
corresponds to 2023-10-05
:
daysInMonth
would be31
because October 2023 has 31 days.lastDay
would then represent2023-10-31
, the last day of October 2023.
Thus, the snippet calculates the last day of the month for the date stored in Model.Payslip.PaymentPeriod.DateStart
.
