DateTime.AddMinutes() Method in C#
This method is used to return a new DateTime that adds the specified number of minutes to the value of this instance.
Syntax:
public DateTime AddMinutes (double value);
Here, value is a number of whole and fractional minutes. The value parameter can be negative or positive.
Return Value: This method returns an object whose value is the sum of the date and time represented by this instance and the number of minutes represented by value.
Exception: This method will throw ArgumentOutOfRangeException if the resulting DateTime is less than MinValue or greater than MaxValue.
Below programs illustrate the use of the above-discussed method:
Example 1:
using System;
class GFG {
public static void Main()
{
DateTime d1 = new DateTime(2018, 9,
7, 7, 0, 0);
double [] m1 = {.01567, .06743, 12.12347,
.89, .6666, 250.0};
foreach ( double m2 in m1)
{
Console.WriteLine( "{0} + {1} minute(s) = {2}" , d1,
m2, d1.AddMinutes(m2));
}
}
}
|
Output:
09/07/2018 07:00:00 + 0.01567 minute(s) = 09/07/2018 07:00:00
09/07/2018 07:00:00 + 0.06743 minute(s) = 09/07/2018 07:00:04
09/07/2018 07:00:00 + 12.12347 minute(s) = 09/07/2018 07:12:07
09/07/2018 07:00:00 + 0.89 minute(s) = 09/07/2018 07:00:53
09/07/2018 07:00:00 + 0.6666 minute(s) = 09/07/2018 07:00:39
09/07/2018 07:00:00 + 250 minute(s) = 09/07/2018 11:10:00
Example 2:
using System;
class GFG {
public static void Main()
{
DateTime d1 = DateTime.MaxValue;
double m1 = 1.7;
Console.WriteLine(d1.AddMinutes(m1));
}
}

Runtime Error:
Unhandled Exception:
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: The added or subtracted value results in an un-representable DateTime.
Parameter name: value
Note:
- This method does not change the value of this DateTime. Instead, it returns a new DateTime whose value is the result of this operation.
- The fractional part of the value is the fractional part of a minute. For example, 7.5 is equivalent to 7 minutes, 30 seconds, 0 milliseconds, and 0 ticks.
- The value parameter is rounded to the nearest millisecond.
