DateTime problem (resolved)

[SuperSparks]

I just can't seem to get my head round this one:

Private Sub btnAlmStart_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAlmStart.Click
 
        Time1 = Now                             ' Take initial time value to add HH, MM, SS to
        Hours = CInt(cmbHours.Text)             ' Assign to global variables values from combo boxes
        Minutes = CInt(cmbMins.Text)
        Seconds = CInt(cmbSecs.Text)
        Dim TS As New TimeSpan(Hours, Minutes, Seconds)     ' Create new TimeSpan value and set it
        Time1.Add(TS)                                       ' Add it to the initial time to give end time

A couple of lines of debugging coide have shown that Time1 never gets the value of TS added to it. If anyone could point out where I'm going wrong I'd be most grateful.

where are those variables declared? ae they public or friend scope?

They're global variables for the entire project at them moment, though that may change. I put a breakpoint in and checked that everything is being properly assigned. The only thing that doesn't happen is that the TimeSpan value (which is correct) is never added to the DateTime value "Time1".

Hi.

ADD is a function, not a method, meaning that Add will return the result to another variable so you have to use something like Time1=Time1.Add(TS)

That works perfectly, thanks pax
