getting yesterday's date 1

[lfc77]

How do I use DateTime to get for example, yesterdays date, or the date 5 days ago? I am using DateTime.Now.ToString() to get today's date, and I need to also find the date at certain intervals back from that.


Any assistance would be really appreciated.


Cheers,

lfc77 Subtract a TimeSpan

TimeSpan ts = new TimeSpan(5,0,0,0);
DateTime dtToday = DateTime.Now;
DateTime dtToday5DaysAgo = new DateTime();
dtToday5DaysAgo = dtToday.Subtract(ts);
Console.WriteLine("today minus 5 days is " + dtToday5DaysAgo);

hth,

DateTime yesterday = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1);
