A date calculation for a particular calendar depends on whether the calendar is solar-based, lunar-based, or lunisolar-based. For example, the GregorianCalendar, JapaneseCalendar, and JulianCalendar classes are solar-based, the HijriCalendar and UmAlQuraCalendar classes are lunar-based,.and the HebrewCalendar and JapaneseLunisolarCalendar classes are lunisolar-based, thus using solar calculations for the year and lunar calculations for the month and day.
A CalendarAlgorithmType value, which is returned by a calendar member such as the Calendar.AlgorithmType property, specifies the foundation for a particular calendar.
