Detailed list for all holidays

[tossnet]

When the holidays for all regions are requested, I suggest giving the result in an IEnumerable. Currently, we can ask (for example, for Switzerland) to retrieve all public holidays, but we would need a Boolean to inform us whether day X is a public holiday or not, and whether it exists in such and such a region.

IEnumerable :

• datetime day
• string LocalName
• string EnglishName
• bool isPublic
• string[] Region

So what do you think?

See the USAPublicHoliday which returns an object with properties
public static Holiday NewYear(int year)

The plan is to eventually do this for all countries, but it is more effort,

• The Holiday class has an ObservedDate as well as a HolidayDate (for eg Christmas when it is on Sunday, many countries give the holiday on the nearest day).
• There is a GetName(CultureInfo) property to get the localized name - in many countries, including CH, there are several different local languages.
• Region and IsPublic may be useful additions.
• IdTextLocalization is a resource key. Perhaps we have an InvariantName (or EnglishName or just Name...?)
• There is a IList<Holiday> PublicHolidaysInformation(int year) on the PublicHoliday classes, which returns the Holidays.

Here is a new branch with this implemented for Turkey- returning the Holiday object with dates, EnglishName and (local)Name
