Hijri Calendar in Windows Phone 8

I want to display some dates in the Hijri format in my Windows Phone 8 application. I found these classes HijriCalendar and CalendarIdentifiers.Hijri

but they don't support Windows Phone 8.

are there any alternatives ?

You could use my Noda Time library, using CalendarSystem.GetIslamicCalendar to get the relevant calendar.

Now, that may well have limitations in terms of:

  • The rest of your application would ideally want to use Noda Time throughout, to avoid converting all over the place
  • If the Hijri calendar isn't supported in WP8, the month names etc may also not be supported, so you may need to include those yourself.
