How to find future date by entering days?

Question

Hello, I am learning C# windows application. I have a WinForm which contains a DateTimePicker, a TextBox and a CommandButton. the DateTimePicker shows current date. Now, when a user enters number of days in the TextBox (e.g. 17) and presses the CommandButton, the result date should be the current date + 17 days. Please help me how can i do this. Thank You. Mayank Jani.

Because you state that you are learning, I am mentioning this. Try to take it in a right spirit and believe me it is for your own benefit. When you are learning try to learn thoroughly. Do not ever rush to post the question. The first thing is reading the COMPLETE theory part. Watch on-line videos of PragimTech / Microsoft Virual Academy, etc. Read CLR via C# book, much of the fundamentals will get cleared there itself. I am saying this because the nature of this particular question is very basic. Even if you would have typed DateTime and pressed . (dot) next to it, it would list all methods and properties.

int days = 17; //suppose this is the input from textbox TimeSpan t = new TimeSpan(DateTime.Now.Ticks); TimeSpan result = t.Add( new TimeSpan(days,0,0)); DateTime resultDate = new DateTime(result.Ticks);

DateTime class helps you to solve this var dt= datetinepicker.Value; var fututeDate = dt.AddDays (17);
