Calculate first and last date of the month in a date

Hi,

 

I need to find a last date and first date of a month of a particular date for controller

 

Suppose if I select 2011/06/14 from date field ,it need to give first date of 6th month and last date of 6Th month.

Please help me..

 

Thanks & Regards

the first date, for obvious reasons, will be the first

so

integer monthnumber = 6;

Date todaysdate = Date.today();

Date start = Date.newInstance(todaysdate.year(), monthnumber, 1);

 

For end use daysInMonth method

integer noOfDays = Date.daysInMonth(todaysdate.year(), monthnumber);

Date end = Date.newInstance( todaysdate.year, monthnumber, noOfDays);

 

you can also use the toStartOfMonth to get the start date, if you are using a date instance

 

Thanks & Ragards

Use this 

 

 

Date selectedDate =  Date.today(); //Give your date
Date firstDate = selectedDate.toStartOfMonth();
Date lastDate = firstDate.addDays(date.daysInMonth(selectedDate.year() , selectedDate.month())  - 1);
system.debug(firstDate  + ' **** ' +lastDate );

 You can verify this in system log

Bit shorter version

Date startDate = System.Date.today().toStartOfMonth(); 
Date endDate = startDate.addMonths(1).addDays(-1);
