DateTime::AddMilliseconds Method
Returns a new DateTime that adds the specified number of milliseconds to the value of this instance.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- value
- Type: System::Double
A number of whole and fractional milliseconds. The value parameter can be negative or positive. Note that this value is rounded to the nearest integer.
Return Value
Type: System::DateTimeAn object whose value is the sum of the date and time represented by this instance and the number of milliseconds represented by value.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentOutOfRangeException | The resulting DateTime is less than MinValue or greater than MaxValue. |
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 millisecond. For example, 4.5 is equivalent to 4 milliseconds and 5000 ticks, where one millisecond = 10000 ticks.
The value parameter is rounded to the nearest integer.
The following example uses the AddMilliseconds method to add one millisecond and 1.5 milliseconds to a DateTime value. It then displays each new value and displays the difference between it and the original value. The difference is displayed both as a time span and as a number of ticks. The example makes it clear that one millisecond equals 10,000 ticks. It also shows that fractional milliseconds are rounded before performing the addition; the DateTime value that results from adding 1.5 milliseconds to the original date is 2 milliseconds greater than the original date.
