subtracting minutes from a DateTime

[Socks93]

Can anyone help me subtracting minutes from a DateTime

public DateTime AddMinutes(double value);


if (connection.Value.Disconnected > DateTime.Now - AddMinutes(AppConfig.current.DisconnectTimerMins))
{
              
}

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks

Your code doesn't make sense as it is. Think about the logic, then write the code to implement the logic. AddMinutes is an instance method, which means that you call it on a DateTime value. It can't just be called out in space like you're doing. Think about basic arithmetic. What is the result if you add a negative number? It's the same result as subtracting a positive number, right? So, if there's no SubtractMinutes method but there is an AddMinutes method and you want to subtract minutes, what are you going to do?

Also, you don't even have to subtract anyway. You could add the number of minutes to the first value and that would produce exactly the same result as subtracting the number of minutes from the second value.

Or they could have just looked at the documentation and seen how to use the AddMinutes() method of DateTime...

DateTime.AddMinutes(Double) Method (System)

Returns a new DateTime that adds the specified number of minutes to the value of this instance.
