Solution 1

By reading about the DateTime struct[^]... :rolleyes:

C#

// Constructor using year, month, day.
DateTime d = new DateTime(2007, 1, 7);
// Add 13 years and assign the result to your date.
// Dates are immutable, like Strings.
d = d.AddYears(13);
// d now holds the original date + 13 years.

Not sure if your month is 7 and day is 1 or vice versa. Depends on your country.

The second date should clear your doubts: 30/6/2020
And don't forget to subtract one day, else the end date would be 01/07/2020 where it should be 30/06/2020.

Indeed, very good point. Read over that detail ;)

genrally yyyy-MM-dd format is preferred

DateTime d = new DateTime(2007, 1, 7);

in this case

Yes, and as Manfred mentioned, don't forget to subtract a day.
In example above:
d = d.AddDays(-1);
Should do the trick :)
