C# calculate accurate age

Question

anyone know how to get the age based on a date(birthdate)

im thinking of something like this

string age = DateTime.Now.GetAccurateAge();

Answer 1

This sounds like a fine exercise to get to know the TimeSpan class better.

Answer 2

Since i can't post code to a comment, here it is the code based on @LukeH answer, with the bug fixed

public static int GetAge( DateTime dob, DateTime today, out int days, out int months ) {
        DateTime dt = today;
        if( dt.Day < dob.Day ) {
            dt = dt.AddMonths( -1 );
        }

        months = dt.Month - dob.Month;
        if( months < 0 ) {
            dt = dt.AddYears( -1 );
            months += 12;
        }

        int years = dt.Year - dob.Year;
        var offs = dob.AddMonths( years * 12 + months );
        days = (int)( ( today.Ticks - offs.Ticks ) / TimeSpan.TicksPerDay );
        return years;
    }
