HijriCalendar.AddMonths Method
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Namespace: System.Globalization
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Overrides Function AddMonths ( _
time As DateTime, _
months As Integer _
) As DateTime
public override DateTime AddMonths(
DateTime time,
int months
)
Parameters
- time
Type: System.DateTime
The DateTime to add months to.
- months
Type: System.Int32
The number of months to add.
Return Value
Type: System.DateTime
The DateTime that results from adding the specified number of months to the specified DateTime.
Exceptions
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentException | The resulting DateTime. |
| ArgumentOutOfRangeException | months is less than -120000. -or- months is greater than 120000. |
Remarks
The day part of the resulting DateTime is affected if the resulting day is not a valid day in the resulting month of the resulting year. It is changed to the last valid day in the resulting month of the resulting year. The year part of the resulting DateTime is affected if the resulting month is outside the year of the specified DateTime. This implementation supports only the current era. Therefore, ArgumentException is thrown if the resulting year is outside the era of the specified DateTime. The time-of-day part of the resulting DateTime remains the same as the specified DateTime.
For example, if the specified month is Zulkadah, which has 30 days, the specified day is the 30th day of that month, and the value of the months parameter is 3, the resulting year is one more than the specified year, the resulting month is Safar, and the resulting day is the 29th day, which is the last day in Safar.
If the value of the months parameter is negative, the resulting DateTime is earlier than the specified DateTime.
The Kind property of the returned DateTime value always equals DateTimeKind.Unspecified. You can preserve the Kind property of the time parameter by calling the DateTime.SpecifyKind method, as the following example shows.
returnTime = DateTime.SpecifyKind(cal.AddMonths(time, months), time.Kind)
returnTime = DateTime.SpecifyKind(cal.AddMonths(time, months), time.Kind);
Examples
The following code example displays the values of several components of a DateTime in terms of the Hijri calendar.
Imports System.Globalization
Public Class Example
Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
' Sets a DateTime to April 3, 2002 of the Gregorian calendar.
Dim myDT As New DateTime(2002, 4, 3, New GregorianCalendar())
' Creates an instance of the HijriCalendar.
Dim myCal As New HijriCalendar()
' Displays the values of the DateTime.
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("April 3, 2002 of the Gregorian calendar equals the following in the Hijri calendar:") & vbCrLf
DisplayValues(outputBlock, myCal, myDT)
' Adds two years and ten months.
myDT = myCal.AddYears(myDT, 2)
myDT = myCal.AddMonths(myDT, 10)
' Displays the values of the DateTime.
outputBlock.Text &= "After adding two years and ten months:" & vbCrLf
DisplayValues(outputBlock, myCal, myDT)
End Sub
Public Shared Sub DisplayValues(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock, ByVal myCal As Calendar, ByVal myDT As DateTime)

outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf
