[edit] Using the DateTime.AddSeconds Method
To use the DateTime.AddSeconds method you will not specify a timespan. You must specify the amount of seconds you want to add. It accepts a double value so it can calculate partial seconds. Remember, a timespan must NOT be used with DateTime.AddSeconds.
[edit] Syntax
DateTime.AddSeconds(<double>)
[edit] Example 1:
using System;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
DateTime today = DateTime.Now;
Console.WriteLine("today: " + today.ToString());
today = today.AddSeconds(11);
Console.WriteLine("New Date: " + today.ToString());
Console.Read();
}
}
Output:
today: 4/5/2007 8:28:51 PM
New Date: 4/5/2007 8:29:02 PM
As you can see the AddSeconds method simply added 11 seconds to the current date.
[edit] Example 2:
This example will add partial seconds. We will include the milliseconds part to show that adding a partial second works.
using System;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
DateTime today = DateTime.Now;
Console.WriteLine("Date: " + today.ToString() + " and " +
today.Millisecond.ToString() + "ms");
today = today.AddSeconds(11.3);
Console.WriteLine("New Date: " + today.ToString() + " and " +
today.Millisecond.ToString() + "ms");
Console.Read();
}
}
Output:
today: 4/5/2007 9:02:22 PM and 187ms
New Date: 4/5/2007 9:02:31 PM and 487ms
As you can see the program added a partial second and it also adjusted the milliseconds part.
