为什么不能简化为检查出生日期？

第一行（var year=end.year-start.year-1；）：假设出生日期尚未发生在结束年份。然后检查月份和日期，看看是否发生了；再增加一年。

对闰年情景没有特殊处理。如果不是闰年，你不能创建一个日期（2月29日）作为结束日期，所以如果结束日期是3月1日，而不是28日，生日庆祝活动将被计算在内。下面的函数将将此场景作为普通日期进行描述。

    static int Get_Age(DateTime start, DateTime end)
    {
        var year = end.Year - start.Year - 1;
        if (end.Month < start.Month)
            return year;
        else if (end.Month == start.Month)
        {
            if (end.Day >= start.Day)
                return ++year;
            return year;
        }
        else
            return ++year;
    }

    static void Test_Get_Age()
    {
        var start = new DateTime(2008, 4, 10); // b-date, leap year BTY
        var end = new DateTime(2023, 2, 1); // end date is before the b-date
        var result1 = Get_Age(start, end);
        var success1 = result1 == 14; // true

        end = new DateTime(2023, 4, 10); // end date is on the b-date
        var result2 = Get_Age(start, end);
        var success2 = result2 == 15; // true

        end = new DateTime(2023, 6, 22); // end date is after the b-date
        var result3 = Get_Age(start, end);
        var success3 = result3 == 15; // true

        start = new DateTime(2008, 2, 29); // b-date is on feb 29
        end = new DateTime(2023, 2, 28); // end date is before the b-date
        var result4 = Get_Age(start, end);
        var success4 = result4 == 14; // true

        end = new DateTime(2020, 2, 29); // end date is on the b-date, on another leap year
        var result5 = Get_Age(start, end);
        var success5 = result5 == 12; // true
    }

这里有一个解决方案。

DateTime dateOfBirth = new DateTime(2000, 4, 18);
DateTime currentDate = DateTime.Now;

int ageInYears = 0;
int ageInMonths = 0;
int ageInDays = 0;

ageInDays = currentDate.Day - dateOfBirth.Day;
ageInMonths = currentDate.Month - dateOfBirth.Month;
ageInYears = currentDate.Year - dateOfBirth.Year;

if (ageInDays < 0)
{
    ageInDays += DateTime.DaysInMonth(currentDate.Year, currentDate.Month);
    ageInMonths = ageInMonths--;

    if (ageInMonths < 0)
    {
        ageInMonths += 12;
        ageInYears--;
    }
}

if (ageInMonths < 0)
{
    ageInMonths += 12;
    ageInYears--;
}

Console.WriteLine("{0}, {1}, {2}", ageInYears, ageInMonths, ageInDays);

我对Mark Soen的答案做了一个小小的修改：我重写了第三行，以便可以更容易地解析表达式。

public int AgeInYears(DateTime bday)
{
    DateTime now = DateTime.Today;
    int age = now.Year - bday.Year;            
    if (bday.AddYears(age) > now) 
        age--;
    return age;
}

为了清晰起见，我还将其转换为函数。

这为这个问题提供了“更多细节”。也许这就是你要找的

DateTime birth = new DateTime(1974, 8, 29);
DateTime today = DateTime.Now;
TimeSpan span = today - birth;
DateTime age = DateTime.MinValue + span;

// Make adjustment due to MinValue equalling 1/1/1
int years = age.Year - 1;
int months = age.Month - 1;
int days = age.Day - 1;

// Print out not only how many years old they are but give months and days as well
Console.Write("{0} years, {1} months, {2} days", years, months, days);

我花了一些时间研究这个问题，并用这个来计算某人的年龄，以年、月和日为单位。我已经针对2月29日的问题和闰年进行了测试，它似乎奏效了，我希望得到任何反馈：

public void LoopAge(DateTime myDOB, DateTime FutureDate)
{
    int years = 0;
    int months = 0;
    int days = 0;

    DateTime tmpMyDOB = new DateTime(myDOB.Year, myDOB.Month, 1);

    DateTime tmpFutureDate = new DateTime(FutureDate.Year, FutureDate.Month, 1);

    while (tmpMyDOB.AddYears(years).AddMonths(months) < tmpFutureDate)
    {
        months++;

        if (months > 12)
        {
            years++;
            months = months - 12;
        }
    }

    if (FutureDate.Day >= myDOB.Day)
    {
        days = days + FutureDate.Day - myDOB.Day;
    }
    else
    {
        months--;

        if (months < 0)
        {
            years--;
            months = months + 12;
        }

        days +=
            DateTime.DaysInMonth(
                FutureDate.AddMonths(-1).Year, FutureDate.AddMonths(-1).Month
            ) + FutureDate.Day - myDOB.Day;

    }

    //add an extra day if the dob is a leap day
    if (DateTime.IsLeapYear(myDOB.Year) && myDOB.Month == 2 && myDOB.Day == 29)
    {
        //but only if the future date is less than 1st March
        if (FutureDate >= new DateTime(FutureDate.Year, 3, 1))
            days++;
    }

}

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?
