Last Day of month:

new DateTime(now.Year, now.Month, DateTime.DaysInMonth(now.Year,now.Month)).ToShortDateString

LastDayOfMonth.AddMonths(-5).Tostring (“dd.MM.yy”)

Can you please guide me further how to minus previous 5 months from Last Day of month?

@lakshman

DateTime(now.Year, now.Month, DateTime.DaysInMonth(now.Year,now.Month)).ToShortDateString

new DateTime(now.Year, now.Month, DateTime.DaysInMonth(now.Year,now.Month))
