Date Sum

How can I sum a date with some amount of days?

Example:

I have a date in a string variable like “01/03/16” (DD/MM/YY), and I’d like to sum with 25 days or 45 days or 30 days. What I should do?

Thanks in advance,

Alexandre

Reading the Lang Ref in regards to the Date Object type would have pointed you in the proper direction

dim dt as new date
dt.sqldate="2016-01-03"
dt.day=dt.day+25 // or 45 or 30

In addition to Dave’s answer (which was absolutely spot on) the new Xojo.Core.Date class object has a few nice new features for adding dates using the Xojo.Core.DateInterval.

This example is from the LR:
http://developer.xojo.com/xojo-core-date

  Using Xojo.Core
  Dim twoMonths As New DateInterval
  twoMonths.Months = 2 ' 2 month interval
  
  ' Get date two months from today
  Dim future As Date = Date.Now + twoMonths

Just to have as another option since I just learned of this operator a few weeks ago.

HTH

Thanks a lot to everybody!
