在.Net Framework中，我们常用的时间类型是DateTime。直到.Net6微软加入了两个新的时间类型：DateOnly和TimeOnly，才弥补了之前的不足。
DateOnly：表示仅日期。比如：某人的生日，我只关心日期，就适合用DateOnly。
TimeOnly：表示仅时间。比如：每天定时执行某个任务，我只关心时间，就适合用TimeOnly。

由此可见，DateOnly和TimeOnly都有相应的应用场景。可小编在实际项目中遇到了这样的业务场景：需要每月给客户生成月账单。这里我所关心的是某个月份，于是我首先想到用DateOnly表示(不考虑字符串)。

var date = new DateOnly(2023, 2, 1);    // 代表2023年2月1日 

虽然DateOnly可用，但从字面理解和表现形式上还是略显尴尬。 DateOnly真正表达的是某一天并不是某个月， 在代码层面也容易混淆，所以并不符合小编的心理期望。经过一番纠结和思考，小编决定自己动手创建一个表示年/月的时间类型：YearMonth。

var ym = new YearMonth(2023, 2);  // 代表2023年2月

 YearMonth的源码如下：

  1  /// <summary>
  2  /// 表示年/月的时间类型
  3  /// </summary>

120 }

其中特性 [JsonConverter(typeof(YearMonthJsonConverter))]用于Json序列化和反序列化。

 1 public class YearMonthJsonConverter : JsonConverter<YearMonth>
 2 {
 3      public override YearMonth Read(ref Utf8JsonReader reader, Type typeToConvert, JsonSerializerOptions options)
 4      {
 5          return YearMonth.FromString(reader.GetString());
 6      }
 7 
 8      public override void Write(Utf8JsonWriter writer, YearMonth value, JsonSerializerOptions options)
 9      {
10          writer.WriteStringValue(value.ToString());
11      }
12 }

 YearMonth的一些用法示例：

1 var ym = new YearMonth(2023, 2);
2 int n = ym.DaysInMonth();     //n：28
3 DateOnly d1 = ym.FirstDay();  //d1：2023/2/1
4 DateOnly d2 = ym.LastDay();   //d2：2023/2/28
5 string str = ym.ToString();   //str：2023-02
6 YearMonth ym2 = ym.AddMonths(1);  //ym2: 2023-03
7 YearMonth ym3 = YearMonth.FromDateOnly(new DateOnly(2023, 2, 8)); //ym3: 2023-02 
8 YearMonth ym4 = YearMonth.FromDateTime(new DateTime(2023, 2, 8, 12, 23, 45)); //ym4: 2023-02
9 bool b = new YearMonth(2023, 3) > new YearMonth(2023, 2);  //b: true

  至此，上面的YearMonth时间类型已经满足小编的开发需要，当然也可以根据需求继续扩展其它功能。
