Hello!
I'm trying to understand U++ Date type and how to do arithmetic with it.
How can I add 6 months to a date? Can you give me a short example?

Thanks

Hi Lectus,

Perhaps you can try this link

http://www.ultimatepp.org/examples$Days$en-us.html

The code example shows how to calculate the number of days between 2 dates. So you can transpose to add 6 months to a given date.

Hope this is helpful

Thanks.

I was playing with U++ Date type and editdate and calendar controls and realized U++ is smart enough to know when a month has 28 or 30 or 31 days.

For example, what I expected I get with the code below:

Date d = cal1.GetDate(); //read date
	d += (30 * 6); // add 6 months: 30 days * 6
	cal2.SetDate(d); // write to the other calendar

That's the behavior I wanted.

Not correct. Use:

Date AddMonths(Date date, int months);
Date AddYears(Date date, int years);
