  error in datetime calling function

  Oct 11, 2017 06:32 AM|erum|LINK

  hello to every one

  I have following function in class

   public static DateTime AddBusinessDays(DateTime dt, int nDays)
          {
              int weeks = nDays / 5;
              nDays %= 5;
              while (dt.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Saturday || dt.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Sunday)
                  dt = dt.AddDays(1);
  
              while (nDays-- > 0)
              {
                  dt = dt.AddDays(1);
                  if (dt.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Saturday)
                      dt = dt.AddDays(2);
              }
              return dt.AddDays(weeks * 7);
          }

  and i calling it by below usage

   lblReturnDate.Text = Utilities.Utilities.AddBusinessDays(DateTime.Now,15);

  but it gives error message
  
  

  Error    1    Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.DateTime' to 'string'

  Hi,

  You need to explicitly convert the computed datetime to a string. For example :

  lblReturnDate.Text = Utilities.Utilities.AddBusinessDays(DateTime.Now,15).ToString("d");

  d is the short date pattern for the culture under which your site runs. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/standard-date-and-time-format-strings for details.
