Hey guys,

I thought getting yesterday's date was now() - 1 but visual studio is giving me error saying '-' is not the right operator. I think now() - 1 was used in VB6. whats the correct way of obtaining yesterday date?

Dim Yesterday As Date = DateAndTime.DateAdd(DateInterval.Day, -1, DateAndTime.Now)

Remember dateadd and you'll be able to look it up (VS help or google) when you forget it.
