How to correctly set a future time?

[mistermentality]

I am trying to add a user entered number of hours and minutes to the current time to get a future time that is that amount of time in the future.

I tried the following

hours = numberofhours*DateTime.TicksPerHour
minutes = numberofminutes*DateTime.TicksPerMinute
total = hours + minutes
armset = DateTime.Now + total

so that I could call a service at the future time but the service always starts immediately, but as far as I know the code should work so any idea what I have done incorrectly?

Thanks.

How did you declare the variables? They should be declared as Long.

My mistake, one was not a long variable

Thanks.
