DateTimeOffset AddTicks(long ticks);public DateTimeOffset AddTicks (long ticks);member this.AddTicks : int64 -> DateTimeOffsetPublic Function AddTicks (ticks As Long) As DateTimeOffsetParameters
- ticks
- Int64
A number of 100-nanosecond ticks. The number can be negative or positive.
Returns
An object whose value is the sum of the date and time represented by the current DateTimeOffset object and the number of ticks represented by ticks.
Exceptions
The resulting DateTimeOffset value is less than DateTimeOffset.MinValue.
-or-
The resulting DateTimeOffset value is greater than DateTimeOffset.MaxValue.
Remarks
A tick represents 100 nanoseconds, or one-ten millionth of a second. Because a tick is a very small and precise time interval, any larger time unit can be expressed as a number of ticks without a loss of precision.
Note
This method returns a new DateTimeOffset object. It does not modify the value of the current object by adding ticks to its date and time.
The following table lists the number of ticks in a particular time interval.
| Time interval | Number of ticks |
|---|---|
| Second | 10,000,000 |
| Minute | 600,000,000 |
| Hour | 36,000,000,000 |
| Day | 864,000,000,000 |
| Week | 6,048,000,000,000 |
| Month | Depends on number of days in the month. |
| Non-leap year | 315,360,000,000,000 |
| Leap year | 316,224,000,000,000 |
Because a DateTimeOffset object does not represent the date and time in a specific time zone, the AddTicks method does not consider a particular time zone's adjustment rules when it performs date and time arithmetic.
