Public Instance Methods

daysBetween	Calculates the number of (integer) days between two (normalized) dates. For example, if you provide a data 1 Jan 2003 00:01, as the start date and 2 Jan 2003 23:59, as the end date, then the number of days returned will be 1.
daysBetweenAsPercentAtYear
daysOfWeekBetween	Calculates the number of a certain day of the week which lies between two dates. For example, if the start date is 1 Jan 2003 and the end date is 31 Dec 2003, and the day of the week we select is Monday then the method will return 52. This is because the number of Monday's between the start date 1 Jan 2003, and the end date 31 Dec 2003, including the end dates is 52.
Equals (inherited from Object)	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.
GetHashCode (inherited from Object)	Serves as a hash function for a particular type, suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table.
GetType (inherited from Object)	Gets the Type of the current instance.
isHoliday	This method evaluates whether the specified date `calendar` is or is not a working day. It is important to be able to distinguish between working and non-working days because generally it is only on working days that contracts (such as dividend, coupon payments etc) can be settled.
isWorkingDay	This method evaluates whether the specified date `calendar` is a working day or a holiday (i.e. a non-working day). It is important to be able to distinguish between working and non-working days because generally it is only on working days that cash flows can take place, therefore it is only on working days that dividends/coupons can be paid, and contracts can be settled.
nextHoliday	Returns the next holiday day after a given `date`.
nextPaymentDate	Returns the index of the element of an array of dates which is the date which is after and closest to a given date.
nextWorkingDay	Returns the next working day after a given `date`.
previousPaymentDate	Returns the index of the element of an array of dates which is the date which is before and closest to a given date.
ToString (inherited from Object)	Returns a String that represents the current Object.

Protected Instance Methods

MemberwiseClone (inherited from Object)	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
