Remarks

The Addition method defines the addition operation for DateTimeOffset values. It enables code such as the following:

Dim date1 As New DateTimeOffset(#1/1/2008 1:32:45 PM#, _
             New TimeSpan(-5, 0, 0))
Dim interval1 As New TimeSpan(202, 3, 30, 0)
Dim interval2 As New TimeSpan(5, 0, 0, 0)
Dim date2 As DateTimeOffset

outputBlock.Text &= date1.ToString() & vbCrLf         ' Displays 1/1/2008 1:32:45 PM -05:00
date2 = date1 + interval1
outputBlock.Text &= date2.ToString() & vbCrLf         ' Displays 7/21/2008 5:02:45 PM -05:00
date2 += interval2
outputBlock.Text &= date2.ToString() & vbCrLf         ' Displays 7/26/2008 5:02:45 PM -05:00     
DateTimeOffset date1 = new DateTimeOffset(2008, 1, 1, 13, 32, 45,
                       new TimeSpan(-5, 0, 0));
TimeSpan interval1 = new TimeSpan(202, 3, 30, 0);
TimeSpan interval2 = new TimeSpan(5, 0, 0, 0);
DateTimeOffset date2;

outputBlock.Text += date1 + "\n";         // Displays 1/1/2008 1:32:45 PM -05:00
date2 = date1 + interval1;
outputBlock.Text += date2 + "\n";         // Displays 7/21/2008 5:02:45 PM -05:00
date2 += interval2;
outputBlock.Text += date2 + "\n";         // Displays 7/26/2008 5:02:45 PM -05:00     

Languages that do not support custom operators and operator overloading can call the Add method instead.
