dates - subtract 12 months

[Jimbo]

Anyone know how I can subtract 12 months from the current date?

 

[Justin Rogers]

DateTime twelveMonthsPrevious = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-12);
twelveMonthsPrevious = DateTime.Now.AddYears(-1);

 

[Jimbo]

DateTime twelveMonthsPrevious = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-12);
twelveMonthsPrevious = DateTime.Now.AddYears(-1);

Gah, stupid me, thanks!

Hi Jimbo

You can use AddMonths method and pass -12 as the parameter. Which basically subtracts 12 months from the date. Basically the method does both add and subtract

Hi, thanks for that. But how can I covert the date to different regional
areas - usa mm/dd/yyyy, euro dd/mm/yyyy ?

Jimbo,

You can get different string representations of the date by passing
parameters to the ToString method on the DateTime instance. Check out the
documentation for the DateTimeFormatInfo class to find the string formats
you can pass to the ToString method to output different formats for the
DateTime instance.

Hope this helps.

Use the appropriate CultureInfo to regionalise date output; for example:

DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;

CultureInfo usCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US");
CultureInfo ukCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-GB");

Console.WriteLine(dt.ToString(usCulture));
Console.WriteLine(dt.ToString(ukCulture));

Console.WriteLine(dt.ToString("D", usCulture));
Console.WriteLine(dt.ToString("D", ukCulture));

Hope this helps
