Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

public DateTime AddSeconds (
         doubleval
)

Parameters

  • val
    A specific number of seconds. Note that the number in the val parameter can be either positive or negative, and it can express partial seconds as well as whole seconds.

Return Value

A new DateTime object having a value that represents the sum of the current DateTime object and the specified number of seconds.

Remarks

This method does not change the value of the current DateTime object; rather, it returns a new DateTime object.
