Next higher month day

This snippet describes how to find the next X day after a given Date time.
That can be very useful, for example, if you want to find the next 15th day or so after a specific date. 

/// <summary>
/// Returns the next month day after the given DateTime.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="T">Source DateTime</param>
/// <param name="D">Target month day</param>
/// <returns>DateTime</returns>
public DateTime NextHigherMonthDay(DateTime T, int D) {
    return ((T.Day >= D) ? T.AddMonths(1) : T).AddDays(D-T.Day);
}
 
// With a minor change, you can create related functions like
// the one below. I just changed the ">=" to ">" ...
public DateTime NextHigherOrEqualMonthDay(DateTime T, int D)
{
    return ((T.Day > D) ? T.AddMonths(1) : T).AddDays(D - T.Day);
}

// Testdate (August 10, 2007):
DateTime TestDate = new DateTime(2007, 8, 10, 20, 15, 0);

// Test 2:
DateTime NewDate2 = NextHigherMonthDay(TestDate, 11);
// The will be: August 11, 2007 because it is

It produces unexpected results if you're looking for day 31.
