如果你只关心月份和年份，想要触及两个日期(例如你想要从JAN/2021到AGO/2022)，你可以使用这个:

int numberOfMonths= (Year2 > Year1 ? ( Year2 - Year1 - 1) * 12 + (12 - Month1) + Month2 + 1 : Month2 - Month1 + 1); 

例子:

Year1/Month1: 2021/10   
Year2/Month2: 2022/08   
numberOfMonths = 11;

或者同年:

Year1/Month1: 2021/10   
Year2/Month2: 2021/12   
numberOfMonths = 3;

如果你只想触碰其中一个，就去掉两个+ 1。

假设这个月的日期不相关(即2011.1.1和2010.12.31之间的差为1)，date1 > date2为正值，date2 > date1为负值

((date1.Year - date2.Year) * 12) + date1.Month - date2.Month

或者，假设你想要两个日期之间的“平均月”的大致数字，下面的方法应该适用于所有日期，但日期差异非常大。

date1.Subtract(date2).Days / (365.25 / 12)

注意，如果您要使用后一种解决方案，那么您的单元测试应该声明应用程序设计使用的最宽日期范围，并相应地验证计算结果。

更新(感谢Gary)

如果使用“平均月份”方法，“每年平均天数”的更准确数字是365.2425。

我在VB中检查了这个方法的用法。NET通过MSDN，它似乎有很多用途。c#中没有这样的内置方法。(即使这不是一个好主意)你可以在c#中调用VB。

将Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll添加到 你的项目作为参考 使用 Microsoft.VisualBasic.DateAndTime.DateDiff 在代码中

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());
}

我的问题用这个方法解决了:

static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var date1 = new DateTime(2018, 12, 05);
            var date2 = new DateTime(2019, 03, 01);

            int CountNumberOfMonths() => (date2.Month - date1.Month) + 12 * (date2.Year - date1.Year);

            var numberOfMonths = CountNumberOfMonths();

            Console.WriteLine("Number of months between {0} and {1}: {2} months.", date1.ToString(), date2.ToString(), numberOfMonths.ToString());

            Console.ReadKey();

            //
            // *** Console Output:
            // Number of months between 05/12/2018 00:00:00 and 01/03/2019 00:00:00: 3 months.
            //

        }
