var birthDate = ... // DOB
var resultDate = DateTime.Now - birthDate;

使用resultDate，您可以应用TimeSpan财产来显示任何内容。

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;
}

一句话的回答：

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

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);
}

以下是计算某人年龄的最简单方法。计算某人的年龄非常简单，下面是计算方法！为了使代码正常工作，您需要一个名为BirthDate的DateTime对象，该对象包含生日。

 C#
        // get the difference in years
        int years = DateTime.Now.Year - BirthDate.Year; 
        // subtract another year if we're before the
        // birth day in the current year
        if (DateTime.Now.Month < BirthDate.Month || 
            (DateTime.Now.Month == BirthDate.Month && 
            DateTime.Now.Day < BirthDate.Day)) 
            years--;
  VB.NET
        ' get the difference in years
        Dim years As Integer = DateTime.Now.Year - BirthDate.Year
        ' subtract another year if we're before the
        ' birth day in the current year
        If DateTime.Now.Month < BirthDate.Month Or (DateTime.Now.Month = BirthDate.Month And DateTime.Now.Day < BirthDate.Day) Then 
            years = years - 1
        End If

这个经典问题值得野田时间来解决。

static int GetAge(LocalDate dateOfBirth)
{
    Instant now = SystemClock.Instance.Now;

    // The target time zone is important.
    // It should align with the *current physical location* of the person
    // you are talking about.  When the whereabouts of that person are unknown,
    // then you use the time zone of the person who is *asking* for the age.
    // The time zone of birth is irrelevant!

    DateTimeZone zone = DateTimeZoneProviders.Tzdb["America/New_York"];

    LocalDate today = now.InZone(zone).Date;

    Period period = Period.Between(dateOfBirth, today, PeriodUnits.Years);

    return (int) period.Years;
}

用法：

LocalDate dateOfBirth = new LocalDate(1976, 8, 27);
int age = GetAge(dateOfBirth);

您可能还对以下改进感兴趣：

将时钟作为IClock传递，而不是使用SystemClock.Instance，将提高可测试性。目标时区可能会更改，因此您也需要DateTimeZone参数。
