Assuming you want it for any date stored in $date
:
((get-date $date -Day 1 -hour 0 -Minute 0 -Second 0).AddMonths(1).AddSeconds(-1)).Day

I have the need to retrieve the number of days in the current month, and despite my research, I have yet to find anything in powershell that does it. The following is what I have currently built to get the result I want. is there a better way to do it?
Please note that I am limited to Powershell
#check to see if this is a leap year function LYC { if ([System.DateTime]::isleapyear((Get-Date).Year)) { $Global:LY = True } } #Get the number of days in current month function fNOD { $MNum = (Get-Date).Month switch ($MNum) { 1 {$Global:DaysInMonth=31} 2 { LYC if (LY) { $Global:DaysInMonth=29 } else { $Global:DaysInMonth=28 } } 3 {$Global:DaysInMonth=31} 4 {$Global:DaysInMonth=30} 5 {$Global:DaysInMonth=31} 6 {$Global:DaysInMonth=30} 7 {$Global:DaysInMonth=31} 8 {$Global:DaysInMonth=31} 9 {$Global:DaysInMonth=30} 10 {$Global:DaysInMonth=31} 11 {$Global:DaysInMonth=30} 12 {$Global:DaysInMonth=31} } }
