VB.Net: Add to date
From Wiki
Adding a day, a month or a year to a date in VB.Net is very easy but takes some getting used to.
Here is the code.
- Module Module1
- Sub Main()
- Dim _Date As New Date(2008, 6, 12)
- Console.WriteLine("begin")
- Console.WriteLine(_Date.ToString("dd/MM/yyy"))
- _Date = _Date.AddDays(10)
- Console.WriteLine("added 10 days")
- Console.WriteLine(_Date.ToString("dd/MM/yyy"))
- _Date = _Date.AddMonths(10)
- Console.WriteLine("added 10 months")
- Console.WriteLine(_Date.ToString("dd/MM/yyy"))
- _Date = _Date.AddYears(10)
- Console.WriteLine("added 10 years")
- Console.WriteLine(_Date.ToString("dd/MM/yyy"))
- _Date = _Date.Add(New TimeSpan(10, 0, 0, 0, 0))
- Console.WriteLine("added 10 days with timespan")
- Console.WriteLine(_Date.ToString("dd/MM/yyy"))
- Console.ReadLine()
- End Sub
- End Module
The americans just have to switch the dd and MM to make it more readable to them.
Just a little warning _date.adddays onitself will not add anything to _date which is a bit strange if you first try this.
If you run the above you will see the following.
