[2008] Manupilating Date

[perito]

Lets say I have the date "Monday January 1"
can I do something like

Dim x as date
x = Monday January 1 + 8 days ==> Monday
x = Monday January 1 + 1 Month ==> it must return the name of the day(monday,tuesday...)
x = Monday January 1 + 1 Year ==> it must return the name of the day(monday,tuesday...)

is there any class that already does this? if no, how can i do it?

Yes. Something like this:

Dim _Date As DateTime = DateTime.Parse("2008-04-09")
Dim _Day As String = String.Empty
 
'For Day
_Day = _Date.AddDays(7).DayOfWeek.ToString()
'For Month
_Day = _Date.AddMonths(1).DayOfWeek.ToString()
'For Year
_Day = _Date.AddYears(1).DayOfWeek.ToString()

just select the date in a datetimepicker...

make sure the datetimepicker has the format set to long...

then use code like:

datetimepicker.value.day

that gives you the day value.....

is that what you mean?
