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?

以下是我对获得Months差异的贡献,我发现这是准确的:

namespace System
{
     public static class DateTimeExtensions
     {
         public static Int32 DiffMonths( this DateTime start, DateTime end )
         {
             Int32 months = 0;
             DateTime tmp = start;

             while ( tmp < end )
             {
                 months++;
                 tmp = tmp.AddMonths( 1 );
             }

             return months;
        }
    }
}

用法:

Int32 months = DateTime.Now.DiffMonths( DateTime.Now.AddYears( 5 ) );

您可以创建另一个名为DiffYears的方法,并应用与上面完全相同的逻辑,并在while循环中使用AddYears而不是AddMonths。

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

我当时在做一个项目,只需要几年和几个月。

/// <summary>
/// Get the total months between two date.  This will count whole months and not care about the day.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="firstDate">First date.</param>
/// <param name="lastDate">Last date.</param>
/// <returns>Number of month apart.</returns>
private static int GetTotalMonths(DateOnly firstDate, DateOnly lastDate)
{
    int yearsApart = lastDate.Year - firstDate.Year;
    int monthsApart = lastDate.Month - firstDate.Month;
    return (yearsApart * 12) + monthsApart;
}

private static int GetTotalMonths(DateTime firstDate, DateTime lastDate)
{
    return GetTotalMonths(DateOnly.FromDateTime(firstDate), DateOnly.FromDateTime(lastDate));
}

这是我所需要的。对我来说,一个月的哪一天并不重要,因为它总是碰巧是一个月的最后一天。

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

    if (d1.Month<d2.Month)
    {
        retVal = (d1.Month + 12) - d2.Month;
        retVal += ((d1.Year - 1) - d2.Year)*12;
    }
    else
    {
        retVal = d1.Month - d2.Month;
        retVal += (d1.Year - d2.Year)*12;
    }
    //// 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;
}

在我的情况下,需要计算从开始日期到下个月这一天的前一天或从月初到月底的完整月份。

例如:从1/1/2018到31/1/2018是一个完整的月 例2:从5/1/2018到4/2/2018是一个完整的月

基于此,我的解决方案如下:

public static DateTime GetMonthEnd(DateTime StartDate, int MonthsCount = 1)
{
    return StartDate.AddMonths(MonthsCount).AddDays(-1);
}
public static Tuple<int, int> CalcPeriod(DateTime StartDate, DateTime EndDate)
{
    int MonthsCount = 0;
    Tuple<int, int> Period;
    while (true)
    {
        if (GetMonthEnd(StartDate) > EndDate)
            break;
        else
        {
            MonthsCount += 1;
            StartDate = StartDate.AddMonths(1);
        }
    }
    int RemainingDays = (EndDate - StartDate).Days + 1;
    Period = new Tuple<int, int>(MonthsCount, RemainingDays);
    return Period;
}

用法:

Tuple<int, int> Period = CalcPeriod(FromDate, ToDate);

注意:在我的情况下,需要计算完整月份之后的剩余天数,所以如果不是你的情况,你可以忽略天数结果,甚至可以将方法返回值从元组更改为整数。

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.
            //

        }
