Hello Neil,
Try doing this way. No need for 'using' declarations in your code. Instead, consider configuring external references and namespace imports in the code options.
Let me know if that works for you.
public class GlobalCode
{
// Class Variables
private static string output;
private static string errorMessage;
public static string Main()
{
DateTime currentDate = DateTime.Now;
DateTime firstDayOfMonth = new DateTime(currentDate.Year, currentDate.Month, 1);
// Check if the current day is a working day (Monday to Friday),
// is the first day of the month, and is not a bank holiday
if (currentDate.DayOfWeek >= DayOfWeek.Monday &&
currentDate.DayOfWeek <= DayOfWeek.Friday &&
currentDate.Date == firstDayOfMonth &&
!IsBankHolidayAsync(currentDate).Result) // Use .Result to synchronously wait for the task
{
// It is the first working day of the month
output = "It is the first working day of the month";
}
else
{
// It is not the first working day of the month
output = "It is not the first working day of the month";
}
return output; // Return the result
}
public static async Task<bool> IsBankHolidayAsync(DateTime checkDate)
{
return await Task.Run(async () =>
{
using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
{
try
{
// Make an HTTP request to get bank holidays JSON
string json = await client.GetStringAsync("https://www.gov.uk/bank-holidays.json");
// Parse JSON response
JObject bankHolidayData = JObject.Parse(json);
// Extract bank holidays for England and Wales
JArray bankHolidays = (JArray)bankHolidayData["england-and-wales"]["events"];
// Check if the checkDate is in the list of bank holidays
foreach (JToken holiday in bankHolidays)
{
if (DateTime.Parse(holiday["date"].ToString()).Date == checkDate.Date)
{
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
catch (HttpRequestException)
{
// Handle request exception, e.g., if the URL is unreachable
errorMessage = "Error: Unable to retrieve bank holidays data.";
return false;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Handle other exceptions
errorMessage = $"Error: {ex.Message}";
return false;
}
}
});
}
