Question

I am trying to add a day to a date retrieved as below

//reading fromdatabase
Dim expenddt_ As String = rdr("Expected_End_Date").ToString

Dim dt_1 As Date = Date.Parse(expenddt_)
Dim expenddt As String = dt_1.ToShortDateString()
txtenddt.Text = expenddt

Suppose if expenddt_ the value comes as “11/1/2012 12:00:00 AM”, than dt_1 has the value #11/1/2012# and expenddt has “11/1/2012” so in textbox txtenddt the value appears as expenddt.

Now when i try to add a day to dt_1 as

Dim test As Date = dt_1.AddDays(+1)

Than the value in test comes as 11/2/2012, i.e a month gets added and not the day. How can i add a day?can anyone help me with this issue?

Answer 1

here is a simple example:

Dim today As System.DateTime
Dim answer As System.DateTime

today = System.DateTime.Now
answer = today.AddDays(36)
