I am trying to find out any function or code to calculate days between to
dates, and another one that I select a date and then select a number of days,
weeks, or years from a control, and I will bring me what they It would be
after the number of days or weeks selected.

Lets say for example I would like to know what date it would be after 20
days from todays date.

Thanks for any suggestions .

Eduardo78,

You could use Visual Basic's DateDiff and DateAdd functions.

Have a look at the System.TimeSpan class. A TimeSpan is the difference
between two dates - you can determine how many years, days, hours,
minutes, seconds, etc exist between two dates.

Eduardo,

Just add 20 days to your date

mydate = mydate.adddays(20)

There are more things you can do direct with datetime, however not direct
with the structure or "structures" in that structure.

By instance using the datetime.ticks gives you endless posibilities.

I hope this helps,

Cor
