title: vb.net add days to a date
body: <pre><code>Dim DespatchDate As DateTime
  Dim ReceiptDate As DateTime 
  
  DespatchDate = #3/7/2017 12:00:00 AM#  'I am in the UK so this is 3rd July 2017
  
  ReceiptDate = DespatchDate.AddDays(60)   'Returns #5/6/2017 12:00:00 AM#
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would expect "1/9/2017" the 1st September 2017</p>
  
  <p>I also tried</p>
  
  <pre><code>ReceiptDate = DateAdd("d", 10, DespatchDate)  which returned #3/17/2017 12:00:00 AM#
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I must be doing something wrong but what?</p>
