To calculate the quarter you can use the Time Period Library for .NET:

C#

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------
public static void ShowQuarterInfo()
{
  ShowQuarterInfo( DateTime.Now );
} // ShowQuarterInfo

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------
public static void ShowQuarterInfo( DateTime moment )
{
  // working quarter
  Quarter quarter = new Quarter( moment );
  Console.WriteLine( "Quarter start: " + quarter.FirstDayStart );
  Console.WriteLine( "Quarter end: " + quarter.LastDayStart );

  // previous quarter
  Quarter previousQuarter = quarter.GetPreviousQuarter();
  Console.WriteLine( "Previous Quarter start: " + previousQuarter.FirstDayStart );
  Console.WriteLine( "Previous Quarter end: " + previousQuarter.LastDayStart );

  // next quarter
  Quarter nextQuarter = quarter.GetNextQuarter();
  Console.WriteLine( "Next Quarter start: " + nextQuarter.FirstDayStart );
  Console.WriteLine( "Next Quarter end: " + nextQuarter.LastDayStart );
} // ShowQuarterInfo

You will find more samples in the article Time Period Library for .NET[^].

Dear,

U can't make the difference between two dates in date form.
but u can get date difference in sec,min,hr,days,months,years.
So In order to get difference b/n two dates we need to do concatenation,but the things is this if we take difference of same day,same month and same year then we will not date in date form coz in each case we will get 0 for days,months and years.That will look like 00\00\0000. Any thing can be zero as per your choice.So if we add 7 days then we will not get proper result

E.G
select dateadd(d,+5, datediff(d,getdate(),getdate()+1) )
this gives 1900-01-07 00:00:00.000
coz
select datediff(d,getdate(),getdate()+1)
it gives 1.
if we add 7 days then we will get
1900-01-07

Your requirement -> "I want to take a difference between two date and convert it into the date". And it's solution ->

DateTime d1 = new DateTime(2010, 10, 28);
            DateTime d2 = new DateTime(2010,11,04);
            TimeSpan p1 = d2.Subtract(d1);
            MessageBox.Show(p1.Days.ToString());

While his original question was unclear, I think it was clear that he was saying, he wants to take a date and add a number of days to the first date and get the second date.

"like in 10/28/2010 add 7 days so the next date is 11/04/2010"

If your say is right, then why he said "I want to take a difference between two date and convert it into the date". Explain why he said like this?

William Winner 22-Oct-10 13:17pm

probably because English isn't his first language...

Aside from that, you chose to answer when an answer had already been given (and most likely already been marked as the solution). And I think from the tone of your answer that you were just trying to make the point that he didn't phrase his question properly.
