How to Increase a Date?

Question

How can I add 1 day to a Date. I've tried this: MyDate.Add(new TimeSpan(1000)) but it doesn't work. I'm using it into a while statement like this: MyDate = DateTime.Now; FinalDate = dtpFinalDate.Value; while (MyDate <= FinalDate) { //Statement MyDate.Add(new TimeSpan(1000)) } what am I doing wrong? thanx in advance.

Sorry my bad it should be MyDate = MyDate.AddDays(1); Apparently AddDays returns a new DateTime incrementing the days by 1 and does not increment MyDate itself.

Thank you jinxx. I've tried that too and it doesn't work. The date never increases. Any idea what is wrong?

Try this: MyDate = DateTime.Now; FinalDate = dtpFinalDate.Value; while (MyDate <= FinalDate) { //Statement MyDate.AddDays(1) // Note the change } If you check out the DateTime class it has a lot of other methods like AddHours AddMinutes AddMonths etc.
