Negative values in C# DateTime

Question

Is there a way to set negative values when calling the DateTime constructor.

like this:

DateTime date = new DateTime(2011, 2, -1);

would be the same as:

DateTime date = new DateTime(2011, 1, 31);

I know this works in other languages, but the problem is that C# .net throws an exception when i'm doing this. Any ideas on how to do this in C# .net?

Answer 1

Use

DateTime date = new DateTime(2011, 2,1).AddDays(-1);
