Hilton Giesenow's Jumbled Mind

Couldn't you just simplify it via:

return (int)((double)new TimeSpan(DateTime.Now.Subtract(dob).Ticks).Days / 365.25);

any [dob] over Now would not be an age, so you could check your age result is not < 0 after calculation

this i my function: what do you think ?

int i=new DateTime(2008, 12, 31).AddYears(1).AddTicks(-1*new DateTime(2008, 1, 1).Ticks).Year-1;

I extended the logic to produce months & days for the age:

public static string FormatAge(DateTime start, DateTime end)

{

// Compute the difference between start

//year and end year.

int years = end.Year - start.Year;

int months = 0;

int days = 0;

// Check if the last year was a full year.

if (end < start.AddYears(years) && years != 0)

{

   --years;

}

start = start.AddYears(years);

// Now we know start <= end and the diff between them

// is < 1 year.

if (start.Year == end.Year)

{

   months = end.Month - start.Month;

}

else

{

   months = (12 - start.Month) + end.Month;

}

// Check if the last month was a full month.

if (end < start.AddMonths(months) && months != 0)

{

   --months;

}

start = start.AddMonths(months);

// Now we know that start < end and is within 1 month

// of each other.

days = (end - start).Days;

return years + "years " + months

   + " months " + days + " days";

}
