Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- value

This method does not change the value of this DateTime. Instead, it returns a new DateTime whose value is the result of this operation.
The fractional part of value is the fractional part of a day. For example, 4.5 is equivalent to 4 days, 12 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds, 0 milliseconds, and 0 ticks.
The value parameter is rounded to the nearest millisecond.
The following example uses the AddDays method to determine the day of the week 36 days after the current date.
using System; class Class1 { static void Main() { DateTime today = DateTime.Now; DateTime answer = today.AddDays(36); Console.WriteLine("Today: {0:dddd}", today); Console.WriteLine("36 days from today: {0:dddd}", answer); } } // The example displays output like the following: // Today: Wednesday // 36 days from today: Thursday
