Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Adds a specified number of ticks to the current DateTimeOffset object.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Function AddTicks ( _
ticks As Long _
) As DateTimeOffset
public DateTimeOffset AddTicks(
long ticks
)
Parameters
- ticks
Type: System.Int64
A number of 100-nanosecond ticks. The number can be negative or positive.
Return Value
Type: System.DateTimeOffset
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
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentOutOfRangeException | The resulting DateTimeOffset value is less than MinValue. -or- The resulting DateTimeOffset value is greater than 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.

This method returns a new DateTimeOffset object. It does not modify the value of the current object by adding minutes to its date and time. |
The following table lists the number of ticks in a particular time interval.

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.
