Answer 1

There is an Add method for a date that you can use to increase a date by minutes, seconds, hours, or whatever.

Here is an example:

        Dim dt1 As DateTime
        dt1 = DateTime.Now
        dt1 = dt1.AddDays(2)
        Debug.WriteLine(dt1.ToString)

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Use myDate.Format(formatString)

for example Now().Format("HH\:mm") will writeout current time in 24 short format

check out custom format strings

you may also know that each valuetype (integer, double, timespan, time) has custom format strings which are very usefull time from time...
