Solution 1

I think the AddMonths method of DateTime structure can be used with a negative value as below

C#

DateTime today = DateTime.Now;
DateTime sixMonthsBack = today.AddMonths(-6);
Console.WriteLine (today.ToShortDateString());
Console.WriteLine (sixMonthsBack.ToShortDateString());

//Output
//5/15/2012
//11/15/2011
