how to minus a date?

[Asha]

hello... can someone tell me how to minus a date value?
e.g. 17/01/2005 - 1 would be 18/01/2005

can someone show me how this is done?

Maybe you're looking for the Date.Subtract method?

In VB.NET you could also use the DateDiff function.

Those will do.

An alternate way would be to use the AddDays method
....and feed it a negative number ( -1 in this case ).

VB.NET
Public Function AddDays(ByVal value As Double) As DateTime

C#
public DateTime AddDays(double value);
