The TDateTime class is used to represent the Gregorian calendar date. The class TChineseDate is used to represent the Chinese calendar date. CChineseCalendarConverter is used for conversion in either direction between a Gregorian date and a Chinese date.
The CChineseCalendarConverter interface is implemented by a separate plug-in, which is not provided by this component. If the plug-in is not available the interface returns an error.
The API consists of two calendar classes: TDateTime and CChineseCalendarConverter , which converts between TDateTime and TChineseDate formats in both directions. Chinese dates are calculated using the -2636 epoch. This is equivalent to 2637 BCE (Before Common Era).
