下面是一个测试片段：

DateTime bDay = new DateTime(2000, 2, 29);
DateTime now = new DateTime(2009, 2, 28);
MessageBox.Show(string.Format("Test {0} {1} {2}",
                CalculateAgeWrong1(bDay, now),      // outputs 9
                CalculateAgeWrong2(bDay, now),      // outputs 9
                CalculateAgeCorrect(bDay, now),     // outputs 8
                CalculateAgeCorrect2(bDay, now)));  // outputs 8

这里有一些方法：

public int CalculateAgeWrong1(DateTime birthDate, DateTime now)
{
    return new DateTime(now.Subtract(birthDate).Ticks).Year - 1;
}

public int CalculateAgeWrong2(DateTime birthDate, DateTime now)
{
    int age = now.Year - birthDate.Year;

    if (now < birthDate.AddYears(age))
        age--;

    return age;
}

public int CalculateAgeCorrect(DateTime birthDate, DateTime now)
{
    int age = now.Year - birthDate.Year;

    if (now.Month < birthDate.Month || (now.Month == birthDate.Month && now.Day < birthDate.Day))
        age--;

    return age;
}

public int CalculateAgeCorrect2(DateTime birthDate, DateTime now)
{
    int age = now.Year - birthDate.Year;

    // For leap years we need this
    if (birthDate > now.AddYears(-age)) 
        age--;
    // Don't use:
    // if (birthDate.AddYears(age) > now) 
    //     age--;

    return age;
}

这个解决方案怎么样？

static string CalcAge(DateTime birthDay)
{
    DateTime currentDate = DateTime.Now;         
    int approximateAge = currentDate.Year - birthDay.Year;
    int daysToNextBirthDay = (birthDay.Month * 30 + birthDay.Day) - 
        (currentDate.Month * 30 + currentDate.Day) ;

    if (approximateAge == 0 || approximateAge == 1)
    {                
        int month =  Math.Abs(daysToNextBirthDay / 30);
        int days = Math.Abs(daysToNextBirthDay % 30);

        if (month == 0)
            return "Your age is: " + daysToNextBirthDay + " days";

        return "Your age is: " + month + " months and " + days + " days"; ;
    }

    if (daysToNextBirthDay > 0)
        return "Your age is: " + --approximateAge + " Years";

    return "Your age is: " + approximateAge + " Years"; ;
}

还有一个答案：

public static int AgeInYears(DateTime birthday, DateTime today)
{
    return ((today.Year - birthday.Year) * 372 + (today.Month - birthday.Month) * 31 + (today.Day - birthday.Day)) / 372;
}

这已经过广泛的单元测试。它看起来确实有点“神奇”。数字372是如果每个月有31天，一年中会有多少天。

其工作原理的解释（此处省略）如下：

让我们设置Yn=DateTime.Now.Year，Yb=生日.Year，Mn=DateTime.Now.Month，Mb=生日.Month、Dn=DateTime.Now.Day，Db=生日.Day年龄=Yn-Yb+（31*（Mn-Mb）+（Dn-Db））/372我们知道，如果日期已经到达，我们需要的是Yn-Yb，如果日期尚未到达，则需要Yn-Yb-1。a） 如果Mn<Mb，我们有-341<=31*（Mn-Mb）<=-31和-30<=Dn-Db<=30-371<=31*（锰-Mb）+（Dn-Db）<=-1带整数除法（31*（Mn-Mb）+（Dn-Db））/372=-1b） 如果Mn=Mb和Dn<Db，则我们有31*（Mn-Mb）=0和-30<=Dn Db<=-1再次使用整数除法（31*（Mn-Mb）+（Dn-Db））/372=-1c） 如果Mn>Mb，我们有31<=31*（Mn-Mb）<=341和-30<=Dn-Db<=301<=31*（Mn-Mb）+（Dn-Db）<=371带整数除法（31*（Mn-Mb）+（Dn-Db））/372=0d） 如果Mn=Mb且Dn>Db，则我们有31*（Mn-Mb）=0且1<=Dn Db<=30再次使用整数除法（31*（Mn-Mb）+（Dn-Db））/372=0e） 如果Mn=Mb，Dn=Db，我们有31*（Mn-Mb）+Dn Db=0因此（31*（Mn-Mb）+（Dn-Db））/372=0

MSDN帮助为什么没有告诉您这一点？看起来很明显：

System.DateTime birthTime = AskTheUser(myUser); // :-)
System.DateTime now = System.DateTime.Now;
System.TimeSpan age = now - birthTime; // As simple as that
double ageInDays = age.TotalDays; // Will you convert to whatever you want yourself?

一句话的回答：

DateTime dateOfBirth = Convert.ToDateTime("01/16/1990");
var age = ((DateTime.Now - dateOfBirth).Days) / 365;

public string GetAge(this DateTime birthdate, string ageStrinFormat = null)
{
    var date = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-birthdate.Month).AddDays(-birthdate.Day);
    return string.Format(ageStrinFormat ?? "{0}/{1}/{2}",
        (date.Year - birthdate.Year), date.Month, date.Day);
}
