Hi @vishal.kumar

Approaches can be many, here is the simplest one.

Hi Viswanath,

This approach sounds good. How can i add 30 days to the system date obtained?

eg: system date: 11/21/2017 and I want the date to be set as 30 days from today i.e 12/21/2017

Thanks,
Vishal kumar

Hai @vishal.kumar

Please find the updated .xaml file.

Let me know if u have any queries on the same.

Dateinformatsample.xaml (6.3 KB)

[AkshaySandhu (AkshaySingh Sandhu)]

@vishal.kumar try this Convert.toDateTime(now.tostring(“MM/dd/yyyy”)).AddDays(30).ToString

Update: use this now.AddDays(30).tostring(“MM/dd/yyyy”) it will give you desired result “12/21/2017” instead of “12/21/2017 00:00:00”

Hi @vishal.kumar ,

Lets try this as mentioned @AkshaySandhu .

[amr (Ammar)]

Try this:
System.DateTime.Now.ToString(“MM/dd/yyyy”)

Vishal whenever I try to do something in UIpath why is that I have to hit google and search, rather than working on own, what language does Uipath take into account for these functions

[evangemert (Erik van Gemert)]

That’s how programming works Just Google everything, put it together and make it work.

The language is C#.

[nikhil_rao]

I don’t think that is how it works in other automation tools, it takes a lot of interest out

[nikhil_rao]

Please dont take me wrong, does that mean we need to learn basics of C#?

[evangemert (Erik van Gemert)]

I would certainly recommend it, it makes a lot of stuff a lot easier. It is not required to use the software though.
