I want to add one year to a date but the new date is always wrong.

This is what I am doıng:

C#

newdate = date.Addyears(1);

date = 16.01.2010
I want the new date to be:
16.01.2011
but the new date always 16.00.2011.

What am I doing wrong here, I don't understand.

Thank you for your answer.

Your question doesn't make sense because 00 as the month value is not valid and this cannot be returned by the addyears method as a result of a DateTime operations. Are you sure your not doing something else?

This works fine for me?

C#

DateTime date = new DateTime(2010, 01, 16);
DateTime futureDate = date.AddYears(1);

Solution 3

Providing your using standard DateTime operations there shouldn't be a problem;

C#

DateTime theDate = DateTime.Now;
DateTime yearInTheFuture = theDate.AddYears(1);
