DateTimeOffset::AddTicks Method (Int64)
Returns a new DateTimeOffset object that adds a specified number of ticks to the value of this instance.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- ticks
-
Type:
System::Int64
A number of 100-nanosecond ticks. The number can be negative or positive.
Return Value
Type: System::DateTimeOffsetAn object whose value is the sum of the date and time represented by the current DateTimeOffset object and the number of ticks represented by ticks.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentOutOfRangeException | The resulting DateTimeOffset value is less than MinValue. -or- The resulting DateTimeOffset value is greater than MaxValue. |
A tick represents 100 nanoseconds, or one-ten millionth of a second. Because a tick is a very small and precise time interval, any larger time unit can be expressed as a number of ticks without a loss of precision.
Note |
|---|
This method returns a new DateTimeOffset object. It does not modify the value of the current object by adding minutes to its date and time. |
The following table lists the number of ticks in a particular time interval.
Time interval | Number of ticks |
|---|---|
Second | 10,000,000 |
Minute | 600,000,000 |
Hour | 36,000,000,000 |
Day | 864,000,000,000 |
Week | 6,048,000,000,000 |
Month | Depends on number of days in the month. |
Non-leap year | 315,360,000,000,000 |
Leap year | 316,224,000,000,000 |
Because a DateTimeOffset object does not represent the date and time in a specific time zone, the AddTicks method does not consider a particular time zone's adjustment rules when it performs date and time arithmetic.
