adding dates in textboxes

I have two Textboxes lets say
Final Date will populate in tb.Text
I have textbox poplulates a number so that number 3
My thought would be

 
tbdate.Text = ShText.Text + DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();

But it doesn't add 3 days to todays date
Any thoughts?

you can change format like below

just replace last line of my above code to

textBox3.Text = date2.Add(ts).ToString("MMMM/dd/yyyy");

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            DateTime date1 = DateTime.Parse(textBox1.Text);

            DateTime date2 = DateTime.Parse(textBox2.Text);

            TimeSpan ts = date2.Subtract(date1);

            textBox3.Text = date2.Add(ts).ToShortDateString();

        }

hello,

Try something like DateTime.Now.AddDays(3).ToShortDateString()
tbdate.Text = DateTime.Now.AddDays(int.Parse(ShText.Text)).ToShortDateString();
