How to find the exact date of the next 2:00 am in .net

Question

I need the get a date object that specifies the next 2:00am that will come.

So pretend the time is 14:00 on the 15th, I need the date object to contain 2:00 on the 16th If the time is 1:00 on the 16th, I need the date object to contain 2:00 on the 16th

How do I do this?

Answer 1

In C#

DateTime dt = DateTime.Today.AddHours(2);
if (dt < DateTime.Now)
    dt = dt.AddDays(1);

I'm sure there is a neater/cleverer way, but that will get the job done.

Answer 2

if the currenttime is before 2:00am, then the next 2:00am will be today else the next 2:00am will occur tomorrow (day + 1).

You will probably want to use a datetime object and increment the day by one, this should ensure that you are always on the correct date.
