如何在c#中计算两个日期之间的月差?

c#中是否有相当于VB的DateDiff()方法。我需要找出相隔数年的两个日期之间的月差。文档说我可以像这样使用TimeSpan:

TimeSpan ts = date1 - date2;

但这里的数据是以天为单位的。我不想把这个数字除以30,因为不是每个月都是30天,而且两个操作数的值相差很大,所以我担心除以30可能会得到错误的值。

有什么建议吗?

你可以在。net中使用Time Period Library的DateDiff类:

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------
public void DateDiffSample()
{
  DateTime date1 = new DateTime( 2009, 11, 8, 7, 13, 59 );
  DateTime date2 = new DateTime( 2011, 3, 20, 19, 55, 28 );
  DateDiff dateDiff = new DateDiff( date1, date2 );

  // differences
  Console.WriteLine( "DateDiff.Months: {0}", dateDiff.Months );
  // > DateDiff.Months: 16

  // elapsed
  Console.WriteLine( "DateDiff.ElapsedMonths: {0}", dateDiff.ElapsedMonths );
  // > DateDiff.ElapsedMonths: 4

  // description
  Console.WriteLine( "DateDiff.GetDescription(6): {0}", dateDiff.GetDescription( 6 ) );
  // > DateDiff.GetDescription(6): 1 Year 4 Months 12 Days 12 Hours 41 Mins 29 Secs
} // DateDiffSample

似乎DateTimeSpan解决方案使许多人满意。我不知道。让我们考虑一下:

BeginDate = 1972/2/29销售= 1972/4/28。

基于DateTimeSpan的答案是:

1年(s), 2个月(s)和0天(s)

我实现了一个方法,在此基础上,答案是:

1年、1个月及28天

显然没有两个月的时间。我想说的是,因为我们在开始日期的月末,剩下的实际上是整个3月加上结束日期(4月)的月份所经过的天数,所以1个月零28天。

如果你读到这里,你有兴趣,我把方法贴在下面。我在评论中解释了我所做的假设,因为有多少个月,月份的概念是一个不断变化的目标。多次测试,看看答案是否有意义。我通常选择相邻年份的考试日期,一旦我确认了答案,我就会前后移动一两天。到目前为止,它看起来不错,我相信你会发现一些bug:D。代码可能看起来有点粗糙,但我希望它足够清楚:

static void Main(string[] args) {
        DateTime EndDate = new DateTime(1973, 4, 28);
        DateTime BeginDate = new DateTime(1972, 2, 29);
        int years, months, days;
        GetYearsMonthsDays(EndDate, BeginDate, out years, out months, out days);
        Console.WriteLine($"{years} year(s), {months} month(s) and {days} day(s)");
    }

    private static void GetYearsMonthsDays(DateTime EndDate, DateTime BeginDate, out int years, out int months, out int days ) {
        var beginMonthDays = DateTime.DaysInMonth(BeginDate.Year, BeginDate.Month);
        var endMonthDays = DateTime.DaysInMonth(EndDate.Year, EndDate.Month);
        // get the full years
        years = EndDate.Year - BeginDate.Year - 1;
        // how many full months in the first year
        var firstYearMonths = 12 - BeginDate.Month;
        // how many full months in the last year
        var endYearMonths = EndDate.Month - 1;
        // full months
        months = firstYearMonths + endYearMonths;           
        days = 0;
        // Particular end of month cases
        if(beginMonthDays == BeginDate.Day && endMonthDays == EndDate.Day) {
            months++;
        }
        else if(beginMonthDays == BeginDate.Day) {
            days += EndDate.Day;
        }
        else if(endMonthDays == EndDate.Day) {
            days += beginMonthDays - BeginDate.Day;
        }
        // For all the other cases
        else if(EndDate.Day > BeginDate.Day) {
            months++;
            days += EndDate.Day - BeginDate.Day;
        }
        else if(EndDate.Day < BeginDate.Day) {                
            days += beginMonthDays - BeginDate.Day;
            days += EndDate.Day;
        }
        else {
            months++;
        }
        if(months >= 12) {
            years++;
            months = months - 12;
        }
    }

我喜欢Kirk的解决方案,并打算无耻地窃取它并在我的代码中使用它,但当我仔细查看它时,我意识到它太复杂了。不必要的切换和循环,以及使用毫无意义的公共构造函数。

以下是我的改写:

public class DateTimeSpan {
    private DateTime _date1;
    private DateTime _date2;
    private int _years;
    private int _months;
    private int _days;
    private int _hours;
    private int _minutes;
    private int _seconds;
    private int _milliseconds;

    public int Years { get { return _years; } }
    public int Months { get { return _months; } }
    public int Days { get { return _days; } }
    public int Hours { get { return _hours; } }
    public int Minutes { get { return _minutes; } }
    public int Seconds { get { return _seconds; } }
    public int Milliseconds { get { return _milliseconds; } }

    public DateTimeSpan(DateTime date1, DateTime date2) {
        _date1 = (date1 > date2) ? date1 : date2;
        _date2 = (date2 < date1) ? date2 : date1;

        _years = _date1.Year - _date2.Year;
        _months = (_years * 12) + _date1.Month - _date2.Month;
        TimeSpan t = (_date2 - _date1);
        _days = t.Days;
        _hours = t.Hours;
        _minutes = t.Minutes;
        _seconds = t.Seconds;
        _milliseconds = t.Milliseconds;

    }

    public static DateTimeSpan CompareDates(DateTime date1, DateTime date2) {
        return new DateTimeSpan(date1, date2);
    }
}

用法1,基本相同:

void Main()
{
    DateTime compareTo = DateTime.Parse("8/13/2010 8:33:21 AM");
    DateTime now = DateTime.Parse("2/9/2012 10:10:11 AM");
    var dateSpan = new DateTimeSpan(compareTo, now);
    Console.WriteLine("Years: " + dateSpan.Years);
    Console.WriteLine("Months: " + dateSpan.Months);
    Console.WriteLine("Days: " + dateSpan.Days);
    Console.WriteLine("Hours: " + dateSpan.Hours);
    Console.WriteLine("Minutes: " + dateSpan.Minutes);
    Console.WriteLine("Seconds: " + dateSpan.Seconds);
    Console.WriteLine("Milliseconds: " + dateSpan.Milliseconds);
}

Usage2类似:

void Main()
{
    DateTime compareTo = DateTime.Parse("8/13/2010 8:33:21 AM");
    DateTime now = DateTime.Parse("2/9/2012 10:10:11 AM");
    Console.WriteLine("Years: " + DateTimeSpan.CompareDates(compareTo, now).Years);
    Console.WriteLine("Months: " + DateTimeSpan.CompareDates(compareTo, now).Months);
    Console.WriteLine("Days: " + DateTimeSpan.CompareDates(compareTo, now).Days);
    Console.WriteLine("Hours: " + DateTimeSpan.CompareDates(compareTo, now).Hours);
    Console.WriteLine("Minutes: " + DateTimeSpan.CompareDates(compareTo, now).Minutes);
    Console.WriteLine("Seconds: " + DateTimeSpan.CompareDates(compareTo, now).Seconds);
    Console.WriteLine("Milliseconds: " + DateTimeSpan.CompareDates(compareTo, now).Milliseconds);
}

我写了一个函数来完成这个,因为其他的方法都不适合我。

public string getEndDate (DateTime startDate,decimal monthCount)
{
    int y = startDate.Year;
    int m = startDate.Month;

    for (decimal  i = monthCount; i > 1; i--)
    {
        m++;
        if (m == 12)
        { y++;
            m = 1;
        }
    }
    return string.Format("{0}-{1}-{2}", y.ToString(), m.ToString(), startDate.Day.ToString());
}

这是我自己的库,将返回两个日期之间的月差。

public static int MonthDiff(DateTime d1, DateTime d2)
{
    int retVal = 0;

    // Calculate the number of years represented and multiply by 12
    // Substract the month number from the total
    // Substract the difference of the second month and 12 from the total
    retVal = (d1.Year - d2.Year) * 12;
    retVal = retVal - d1.Month;
    retVal = retVal - (12 - d2.Month);

    return retVal;
}
int nMonths = 0;
if (FDate.ToDateTime().Year == TDate.ToDateTime().Year)
     nMonths = TDate.ToDateTime().Month - FDate.ToDateTime().Month;                         
else
nMonths = (12 - FDate.Month) + TDate.Month;
