To add seconds in the current date-time, we use AddSeconds() method of DateTime class in C#.
Syntax
DateTime DateTime.AddSeconds(double);
AddSeconds() method accepts the value of the seconds as double and returns the DateTime object that can be parsed and updated date time can be found.
C# code to add seconds 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 50 seconds
DateTime dt2 = dt1.AddSeconds(50);
//updated date time is
Console.WriteLine("Updated date time is: " + dt2.ToString());
//adding 172800 seconds (i.e. 2 days) in the time
dt2 = dt1.AddSeconds(172800);
//updated date time is
Console.WriteLine("Updated date time is: " + dt2.ToString());
//just to print a new line
Console.WriteLine();
}
}
}
