Answer 1

You can use other variable

DateTime otherDate = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(25);
DateTime tomorrow = DateTime.Now.AddHours(25);

Answer 2

You can use the operators +, -, +=, and -= on a DateTime with a TimeSpan argument.

DateTime myDateTime = DateTime.Parse("24 May 2009 02:19:00");

myDateTime = myDateTime + new TimeSpan(1, 1, 1);
myDateTime = myDateTime - new TimeSpan(1, 1, 1);
myDateTime += new TimeSpan(1, 1, 1);
myDateTime -= new TimeSpan(1, 1, 1);

Furthermore, you can use a set of "Add" methods

myDateTime = myDateTime.AddYears(1);                
myDateTime = myDateTime.AddMonths(1);              
myDateTime = myDateTime.AddDays(1);             
myDateTime = myDateTime.AddHours(1);               
myDateTime = myDateTime.AddMinutes(1);            
myDateTime = myDateTime.AddSeconds(1);           
myDateTime = myDateTime.AddMilliseconds(1);       
myDateTime = myDateTime.AddTicks(1);     
myDateTime = myDateTime.Add(new TimeSpan(1, 1, 1));

Answer 3

Please note that you may add - (minus) sign to find minutes backwards

DateTime begin = new DateTime();
begin = DateTime.ParseExact("21:00:00", "H:m:s", null);

if (DateTime.Now < begin.AddMinutes(-15))
{
    //if time is before 19:45:00 show message etc...
}

and time forward

DateTime end = new DateTime();
end = DateTime.ParseExact("22:00:00", "H:m:s", null);


if (DateTime.Now > end.AddMinutes(15))
{
    //if time is greater than 22:15:00 do whatever you want
}

You can also add a TimeSpan to a DateTime, as in:

date + TimeSpan.FromHours(8);
