title: How to access Nintex managed holidays in SharePoint 2010
body: <p>We are building a pretty straight forward business project that uses SharePoint 2010 and Nintex workflows. Just the usual lists with workflows attached doing stuff to the list items.</p>
  
  <p>Nintex workflows can do pauses for X number of days that <em>exclude</em> holidays if the holiday dates are entered through the Nintex "Manage Holidays" action in the settings for a web. It just lets you enter a bunch of Name + Date combinations. That's great and lets the workflows do their job nicely.</p>
  
  <p>Now, we'd like to be able to do custom calculations in a web service that a Nintex workflow can call, that also take those holidays into account. The calculations are just too complex to do with the features that Nintex gives you - which is fine.</p>
  
  <p>My question is; is there some way to query that list of dates that we have entered for Nintex to use? They're not stored in any SharePoint lists, hidden or otherwise; they go straight into the Nintex database. I have looked at the Nintex workflow webservice - all the functions seem to be specific to starting/stopping workflows etc.</p>
  
  <p>I'd also rather avoid accessing the Nintex database directly, or duplicate those dates in a SharePoint list.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to get at that data? Either through .NET code (using the nintex dlls) or other webservices?</p>
  
  <p>Cheers :D </p>
