We are here to help when you get any problem.
We are not here to code for you.
Have you tried something by your own?

Thanks Ankit for telling me that you are there to help and not to code for me. Anyways I got the logic but i am unable to do it in linq.
The logic is below
int CurrentQuarter = ((DateTime.Now.Month - 1) / 3) + 1;
and the next time before commenting to somebody's query better read the problem. The person who asks a query might be in a problem.

I have commented according to your Question( "pls find for me a C# code"). I think now you can understand why i had written this.

Since you know the answer why did you post the question?

So, you asked for code and got upset because someone called you on it. Then you show C# code (the language you said you needed the code to be in) that will do what you're talking about. But you mention that you can't do it in linq. So first you should be more polite to potential answerers (we see a *lot* of "gimme code" questions here and they get old). Second, if you need help with linq, perhaps you need to retag your question to include that *and* mention it in the question. Third, have a great day!

Unfortunately, voting on comments isn't possible, else I would have given yours a five, Marc. :-)

Solution 5

Compact and easy to understand. (needs at least C# 7 because of the ValueTuple)

C#

public static class DateExtensions
{
  public static (int Year, int Quarter) GetQuarterInfo(this DateTime value)
  {
    var quarter = (value.Month + 2) / 3;

    return (value.Year, quarter);
  }
}

Below are few lines which does the trick for you. Modify it as per your need

C#

int mth = DateTime.Now.Month;
if (mth <= 3)
{
      Console.WriteLine("Quarter 1");
}
else if (mth > 3 && mth <= 6)
{
      Console.WriteLine("Quarter 2");
}
else if (mth > 6 && mth <= 9)
{
      Console.WriteLine("Quarter 3");
}
else if (mth > 9 && mth <= 12)
{
      Console.WriteLine("Quarter 4");
}

Hope this will help you out

thanks umair, but actually this is not required. the logic is
int CurrentQuarter = ((DateTime.Now.Month - 1) / 3) + 1;

Solution 3

The Time Period Library for .NET includes the enum YearQuarter and the class Quarter:

C#

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------
public void YearQuartersSample()
{
  Year year = new Year( 2012 );
  ITimePeriodCollection quarters = year.GetQuarters();
  Console.WriteLine( "Quarters of Year: {0}", year );
  // > Quarters of Year: 2012; 01.01.2012 - 31.12.2012 | 365.23:59
  foreach ( Quarter quarter in quarters )
  {
    Console.WriteLine( "Quarter: {0}", quarter );
  }
  // > Quarter: Q1 2012; 01.01.2012 - 31.03.2012 | 90.23:59
  // > Quarter: Q2 2012; 01.04.2012 - 30.06.2012 | 90.23:59
  // > Quarter: Q3 2012; 01.07.2012 - 30.09.2012 | 91.23:59
  // > Quarter: Q4 2012; 01.10.2012 - 31.12.2012 | 91.23:59

} // YearQuartersSample

The simplest solution is to check a remainder. Casting is automatic.

int thisMonth = DateTime.Now.Month;
int monthsInOneQuarter = 3;
int quarter = 0;

if (thisMonth % monthsInOneQuarter > 0)
{
  quarter = thisMonth / monthsInOneQuarter + 1;
}
else
{
  quarter = thisMonth / monthsInOneQuarter ;
}

System.Console.WriteLine("The month is from the " + quarter + ". quarter");

Solution 2

If you know the answer why you post a question?
Anyway, I think this method would be nice implemented as an extension method like this

C#

static class ExtensionMethods
 {
     public static int GetQuarter(this DateTime dt)
     {
         return (dt.Month - 1) / 3 + 1;
     }
 }

and called like:

int iQuarter = DateTime.Now.GetQuarter();

Glad you liked it. I think for this small Problem it's OK to ask for "give me code". So i don't Share the commenters opinion...

Saumya J Pandey 6-May-11 0:53am

i am happy that atleast you understand the urgency in my words. :)
