[RESOLVED] Date + Date

[scsfdev]

Hi all,

Merry Christmas to you all.

I have a question
Let's say I have a count like 20 Days or 1 Week or 2 Months.

I like to add these value to Today Date.

without chopping, checking and adding the value is there any way I can do it ?

Because now my user may choose 20 or 10 days, or 1 week or 2 weeks, or 3 months or 1 month. (even years!!)

And I need to add this value to Today. (This is a processing for Getting Expiry Date)

I'm kind of stuck here.

The only way I can think of is chopping out Date or Month or Year and plus the user key-in value to this. And re-calculate the value and display it on screen.

Its kind of messy.
So, any idea??

Thanks.

Check out the DateAndTime class.

DateAndTime.DateAdd method

Wrong class

Check out the DateTime class

Look for the Add methods.

DateTime is a structure, not a class. Doesn't really make much difference to the way it's used in many cases, including this case, but it's important to know whether you're dealing with reference types or value types much of the time.

Some code info here.

        Dim dtF As New DateTime
        dtF = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(1)

Hi all,

thanks for all ur suggestions. It solved my problems.

I feel more and more of lack behind in .Net environment

According to this example, i don't even know such easy things. I feel ashamed of my ability. I still need more to learn.
