Nearest completed quarter

Question

Is there a C# function which will give me the last day of the most recently finished Quarter given a date?

For example,

var lastDayOfLastQuarter = So         


        

Answer 1

Here's a simple function to give you the last day of the current quarter (assuming you're using a standard calendar).

DateTime LastDayOfQuarter(DateTime today)
{
    int quarter = (today.Month-1) / 3;
    int lastMonthInQuarter = (quarter +1) * 3;
    int lastDayInMonth =  DateTime.DaysInMonth(today.Year, lastMonthInQuarter);
    return new DateTime(today.Year, lastMonthInQuarter, lastDayInMonth); 
}

Hope that helps.
