Why is the integration constant excluded when finding v in integration by parts?

[Fizex]

We know the formula is $$\inline{\int udv=uv-\int vdu}$$ but when you say that for example, $$dv=e^x dx$$, then why when you integrate to get v, you don't include the integration constant?

For this integral:
$$\int xe^{x}dx$$
$$dv = e^x dx$$
$$v = e^x + C$$?

You can, in this case you would get
$$\int x e^x \, \mathrm dx = (e^x + C) x + \int (e^x + C) \, \mathrm dx = x (e^x + C) - (e^x + C x + C')$$
If you expand
$$x e^x + C x - (e^x - C x + C') = (x - 1) e^x - C'$$

oh, haha, I was only paying attention to one side of the equation. Thanks.
