// Calculate what day of the week is 36 days from this instant. System.DateTime today = System.DateTime.Now; System.TimeSpan duration = new System.TimeSpan(36, 0, 0, 0); System.DateTime answer = today.Add(duration); System.Console.WriteLine("{0:dddd}", answer);

Add days into a dateTime object. DateTime today = DateTime.Now; DateTime answer = today.AddDays(36); Console.WriteLine("Today: {0:dddd}", today); Console.WriteLine("36 days from today: {0:dddd}", answer); You also can subtract days passing a negative value: DateTime today...

const int July = 7; const int Feb = 2; int daysInJuly = System.DateTime.DaysInMonth(2001, July); Console.WriteLine(daysInJuly); // daysInFeb gets 28 because the year 1998 was not a leap year. int daysInFeb = System.DateTime.DaysInMonth(1998, Feb); Console.WriteLine(daysInFeb); // daysIn...

Add years on the dateTime object: DateTime baseDate = new DateTime(2000, 2, 29); Console.WriteLine("Base Date: {0:d}\n", baseDate); // Show dates of previous fifteen years. for (int ctr = -1; ctr >= -15; ctr--) Console.WriteLine("{0,2} year(s) ago:{1:d}", ...

Wikipedia currently defines a pure function as follows: The function always evaluates the same result value given the same argument value(s). The function result value cannot depend on any hidden information or state that may change while program execution proceeds or between different executions...

// Converts the string representation of a date and time to its DateTime equivalent var dateTime = DateTime.Parse("14:23 22 Jul 2016"); Console.WriteLine(dateTime.ToString());

using System; public class Program { public static void Main() { var date = new DateTime(2016,12,31); Console.WriteLine(date.ToString()); //Outputs: 12/31/2016 12:00:00 AM Console.WriteLine(date.ToShortDateString()); //Out...

To get the current date you use the DateTime.Today property. This returns a DateTime object with today's date. When this is then converted .ToString() it is done so in your system's locality by default. For example: Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Today); Writes today's date, in your local format to...
