Help with date.addHours()

Hi all, I'm sure I'm missing something while dealing with dates in my
code.... If anybody could give me a clue...

Here's the code:

dim dt1,dt2 as dateTime
dt1 = new dateTime(2006,1,1,22,0,0)
dt2 = dt1.addHours(3)

the problem is that I get always the same date in dt1 and dt2.

If I change the code to

dim dt1,dt2 as dateTime
dt1 = new dateTime(2006,1,1,22,0,0)
dt2 = dt1
dt2 = dt2.addHours(3)

I get the same results...

Shouldn't dt2 get the value of 1/2/2006 01:00?

Thanks a lot,
Regards,
Victor

Hi Victor,

I can't reproduce your error. Are you sure you are reading the result =

correctly?

You should, and I'm pretty sure you do too

Sorry, I almost forgot the post....

Well, I really got surprised when I reboot my machine and everything went
fine again.

I should not say it is a framework or windows problem, I think the problem
is that I have a celeron 766 + 256MB running MSDE + VS.Net, building and
rebuilding the solution for 3 days without stopping or rebooting the
machine.... I think my machine just do not handle this kind of load....

sorry again...
