To add hours in the current date-time, we use AddHours() method of DateTime class in C#.
Syntax
DateTime DateTime.AddHours(double);
AddHours() method accepts the value of the hours as double and returns the DateTime object that can be parsed and updated date time can be found.
C# code to add hours in current date time
using System;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//creating an object of DateTime class
//and, initializing it with the current time
//using "Now"
DateTime dt1 = DateTime.Now;
//printing current date time
Console.WriteLine("Currnt date time is: " + dt1.ToString());
//another DateTime object to store the updated date time
//adding 30 hours
DateTime dt2 = dt1.AddHours(30);
//updated date time is
Console.WriteLine("Updated date time is: " + dt2.ToString());
//adding 48 hours (i.e. 2 days) in the time
dt2 = dt1.AddHours(48);
//updated date time is
Console.WriteLine("Updated date time is: " + dt2.ToString());
//just to print a new line
Console.WriteLine();
}
}
}
