DateTimeOffset.AddMinutes() Method in C#

This method is used to get a new DateTimeOffset object that adds a specified number of whole and fractional minutes to the value of the current instance.

Syntax: public DateTimeOffset AddMinutes (double minutes);
Here, it takes a number of whole and fractional minutes. The number can be negative or positive.

Return Value: It returns an object whose value is the sum of the date and time represented by the current DateTimeOffset object and the number of minutes represented by minutes.

Exception: This method will give ArgumentOutOfRangeException if the resulting DateTimeOffset value is less than MinValue or the resulting DateTimeOffset value is greater than MaxValue

Below programs illustrate the use of DateTimeOffset.AddMinutes(Double) Method:

Example 1:

// C# program to demonstrate the
// DateTimeOffset.AddMinutes(Double)
// Method
using System;
using System.Globalization;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {
        try {

            // creating object of DateTimeOffset
            DateTimeOffset offset = new DateTimeOffset(2007,
                     6, 1, 7, 55, 0, new TimeSpan(-5, 0, 0));

            // adding a specified number of whole and
            // fractional minutes to the value of this
            // instance using AddMinutes() method
            DateTimeOffset value = offset.AddMinutes(10);

            // Display the time
            Console.WriteLine("DateTimeOffset is {0}", value);
        }

        catch (ArgumentOutOfRangeException e) {
            Console.Write("Exception Thrown: ");
            Console.Write("{0}", e.GetType(), e.Message);
        }
    }
}

Output:

DateTimeOffset is 06/01/2007 08:05:00 -05:00

Example 2: For ArgumentOutOfRangeException

// C# program to demonstrate the
// DateTimeOffset.AddMinutes(Double)
// Method
using System;
using System.Globalization;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {
        try {

            // creating object of  DateTimeOffset
            DateTimeOffset offset = DateTimeOffset.MaxValue;

            // adding a specified number of whole and
            // fractional minutes to the value of this
            // instance using AddMinutes() method
            DateTimeOffset value = offset.AddMinutes(10);

            // Display the time
            Console.WriteLine("DateTimeOffset is {0}", value);
        }

        catch (ArgumentOutOfRangeException e) {
            Console.Write("Exception Thrown: ");
            Console.Write("{0}", e.GetType(), e.Message);
        }
    }
}

Output:

Exception Thrown: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException
