any one knows how can convert from Gregorian date to the islamic Hijri date using ASP 3.0?

Many Thanks,

No, but I searched google;

You should too.

thanks....


I also check google but found all ready tools...I want to know the formula!! I contacted some of them and they refused to give.

I cannot help you any further on this, as I have not idea about this calendar format.

Surely though it would be a case of there being different amount of months/days in months? You could work this out no?

Google has all the answers..

The result is an approximate date. Every Hijri year corresponds to one Gregorian year and vice versa. The conversion is based on the follwing formulae: G=H-(H/33)+622 and H=G-622+(G-622)/32 (Carl Brockelmann: Arabische Grammatik, 12. neubearbeitete Auflage, Leipzig: Harrassowitz, 1948, p. 209). If you want to convert exact dates including month and day please go to the converter offered by the website Conversion of Islamic and Christian dates by J. Thomann or to the Gregorian-Hijri Dates Converter developed by Waleed Muhanna.

Looks pretty accurate to me...
