    <p>As I've mentioned in the comments, there are various things you could mean by "next Tuesday", but this code gives you "the next Tuesday to occur, or today if it's already Tuesday":</p> <pre><code>DateTime today = DateTime.Today; // The (... + 7) % 7 ensures we end up with a value in the range [0, 6] int daysUntilTuesday = ((int) DayOfWeek.Tuesday - (int) today.DayOfWeek + 7) % 7; DateTime nextTuesday = today.AddDays(daysUntilTuesday); </code></pre> <p>If you want to give "a week's time" if it's already Tuesday, you can use:</p> <pre><code>// This finds the next Monday (or today if it's Monday) and then adds a day... so the // result is in the range [1-7] int daysUntilTuesday = (((int) DayOfWeek.Monday - (int) today.DayOfWeek + 7) % 7) + 1; </code></pre> <p>... or you could use the original formula, but from tomorrow:</p> <pre><code>DateTime tomorrow = DateTime.Today.AddDays(1); // The (... + 7) % 7 ensures we end up with a value in the range [0, 6] int daysUntilTuesday = ((int) DayOfWeek.Tuesday - (int) tomorrow.DayOfWeek + 7) % 7; DateTime nextTuesday = tomorrow.AddDays(daysUntilTuesday); </code></pre> <p>EDIT: Just to make this nice and versatile:</p> <pre><code>public static DateTime GetNextWeekday(DateTime start, DayOfWeek day) { // The (... + 7) % 7 ensures we end up with a value in the range [0, 6] int daysToAdd = ((int) day - (int) start.DayOfWeek + 7) % 7; return start.AddDays(daysToAdd); } </code></pre> <p>So to get the value for "today or in the next 6 days":</p> <pre><code>DateTime nextTuesday = GetNextWeekday(DateTime.Today, DayOfWeek.Tuesday); </code></pre> <p>To get the value for "the next Tuesday excluding today":</p> <pre><code>DateTime nextTuesday = GetNextWeekday(DateTime.Today.AddDays(1), DayOfWeek.Tuesday); </code></pre>

    2. COIt was hard to choose the correct answer. But yours seems to be the most versatile and you made it easy to understand. Thanks for you help.

    3. CO@brenjt: Actually I'd say that Sven's is more versatile, as you can specify the day of week, but it's your call :) (I've now edited mine to give a more generalized version.)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
