DateTime.AddDays() not working as expected
I have this simple program:
DateTime aux = new DateTime(2012, 6, 12, 12, 24, 0);
DateTime aux2 = new DateTime(2012, 6, 12, 13, 24, 0);
aux2.AddDays(1);
Console.WriteLine((aux2 - aux).TotalHours.ToString());
Console.ReadLine();
I debugged this and found aux2.AddDays(1);
doesn't seem to work, what am I missing here?
it should return 25 but the answer is one.
What is the problem?
also AddHours
doesn't work, I guess that the others aren't working too.
It does work but you don't do anything with the return value, try
aux2 = aux2.AddDays(1);
DateTime
s share this facet of immutability with String
s.
EDIT
There is a little paragraph about it on MSDN
This method does not change the value of this DateTime. Instead, it returns a new DateTime whose value is the result of this operation.
DateTime.AddDays
returns new DateTime that adds specified number of days. You need to assign it to your variable:
aux2 = aux2.AddDays(1);
