[edit] Using the DateTime.AddYears Method

To use the DateTime.AddYears method you will not specify a timespan. You must specify the amount of ticks you want to add. It accepts an int value so it can NOT calculate partial years. Remember, a timespan must NOT be used with DateTime.AddYears.

[edit] Syntax

DateTime.AddYears(<int>)

[edit] Example 1:

using System;
class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        DateTime today = DateTime.Now;
 
        Console.WriteLine("today: " + today.ToString());
        today = today.AddYears(6);
        Console.WriteLine("New Date: " + today.ToString());
        Console.Read();
    }
}

Output:

today: 4/5/2007 8:28:51 PM
New Date: 4/5/2013 8:28:51 PM

As you can see the AddYears method simply added 6 years to the current date.
