How to get the three previous dates

Question

Hi How can i get the previous three dates from the current date. for example the current date is 16/07/2011. so can i get the previous dates(15/07/201114/07/201113/07/2011).note that month can also be changed. like if date is 01/07/2011 and i want to get the previous three dates so in this case not only day but also month will be changed. so please tell me how to do this using asp.net with c#

Check this DateTime dt = DateTime.Now; DateTime dt1 = dt.AddDays(-1); // WIll get previous date DateTime dt2 = dt1.AddDays(-1); // Will get the 2nd previous date Like this use as per your need If you are taking as string use as per below string str = 16/07/2011; DateTime dt1 = DateTime.ParseExact(str dd/MM/yyyy null); dt1 = dt1.AddDays(-1); DateTime dt2 = dt1.AddDays(-1); You can loop too i tried in windows forms string text = 16/07/2011; DateTime parsed; CultureInfo culture = new CultureInfo(en-US); if (DateTime.TryParseExact(text dd/MM/yyyy culture DateTimeStyles.None out parsed)) { for (int i = 1; i { Console.WriteLine(parsed.AddDays(-i).ToString(dd/MM/yyyy)); if (i == 1) { textBox1.Text = parsed.AddDays(-i).ToString(); } if (i == 2) { textBox2.Text = parsed.AddDays(-i).ToString(); } if (i == 3) { textBox3.Text = parsed.AddDays(-i).ToString(); } } }
