我只想这样做：

DateTime birthDay = new DateTime(1990, 05, 23);
DateTime age = DateTime.Now - birthDay;

这样你就可以计算出一个人的确切年龄，如果你愿意的话，可以精确到毫秒。

这很简单，似乎符合我的需要。我为闰年的目的做了一个假设，即无论一个人选择什么时候庆祝生日，从技术上讲，他们都不会比自己大一岁，直到他们的上一个生日过去365天（即2月28日不会使他们大一岁）。

DateTime now = DateTime.Today;
DateTime birthday = new DateTime(1991, 02, 03);//3rd feb

int age = now.Year - birthday.Year;

if (now.Month < birthday.Month || (now.Month == birthday.Month && now.Day < birthday.Day))//not had bday this year yet
  age--;

return age;

因为闰年和所有事情，我知道的最好的方法是：

DateTime birthDate = new DateTime(2000,3,1);
int age = (int)Math.Floor((DateTime.Now - birthDate).TotalDays / 365.25D);

这可能会起作用：

public override bool IsValid(DateTime value)
{
    _dateOfBirth =  value;
    var yearsOld = (double) (DateTime.Now.Subtract(_dateOfBirth).TotalDays/365);
    if (yearsOld > 18)
        return true;
    return false;
}

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?

2需要解决的主要问题有：

1.计算准确年龄-以年、月、日等为单位。

2.计算人们普遍认为的年龄——人们通常不关心自己到底多大，他们只关心自己当年的生日是什么时候。

1的解决方案显而易见：

DateTime birth = DateTime.Parse("1.1.2000");
DateTime today = DateTime.Today;     //we usually don't care about birth time
TimeSpan age = today - birth;        //.NET FCL should guarantee this as precise
double ageInDays = age.TotalDays;    //total number of days ... also precise
double daysInYear = 365.2425;        //statistical value for 400 years
double ageInYears = ageInDays / daysInYear;  //can be shifted ... not so precise

2的解决方案在确定总年龄时并不那么精确，但人们认为它是精确的。当人们“手动”计算年龄时，通常也会使用它：

DateTime birth = DateTime.Parse("1.1.2000");
DateTime today = DateTime.Today;
int age = today.Year - birth.Year;    //people perceive their age in years

if (today.Month < birth.Month ||
   ((today.Month == birth.Month) && (today.Day < birth.Day)))
{
  age--;  //birthday in current year not yet reached, we are 1 year younger ;)
          //+ no birthday for 29.2. guys ... sorry, just wrong date for birth
}

注释2.：

这是我的首选解决方案我们不能使用DateTime.DayOfYear或TimeSpans，因为它们会在闰年中改变天数为了可读性，我只增加了几行

还有一个提示。。。我将为它创建两个静态重载方法，一个用于通用，另一个用于使用友好：

public static int GetAge(DateTime bithDay, DateTime today) 
{ 
  //chosen solution method body
}

public static int GetAge(DateTime birthDay) 
{ 
  return GetAge(birthDay, DateTime.Now);
}
