If you need to calculate someone's age...

[TheGiops]

...Here is how you do it. (VB.NET)

Public Function CalculateAge(Birth As DateTime, TodayDate As DateTime) As String
 
        Dim dob As DateTime
        dob = Birth
        Dim tday As TimeSpan = Birth.Subtract(TodayDate)
        Dim years As Integer, months As Integer, days As Integer
 
        months = 12 * (TodayDate.Year - dob.Year) + (TodayDate.Month - dob.Month)
 
        If TodayDate.Day < dob.Day Then
            months -= 1
            days = DateTime.DaysInMonth(dob.Year, dob.Month) - dob.Day + TodayDate.Day
        Else
            days = TodayDate.Day - dob.Day
        End If
 
        years = Math.Floor(months / 12)
        months -= years * 12
 
        Return years & "y " & months & "m " & days & "d"
 
    End Function

There's a place for posting examples - vb.net codebank

I suspected something like this.

Going there. I thought the routine might have been useful for someone.

No worries, I moved it for you.

If you're going to post code you should also be aware of our code tags function. It's the VB or # button. The first will allow you to enter the language you're using and will produce a nicely formatted and coloured output. The second produces a more basic "catch all" output.

Finally, welcome to the forums and thanks for the contribution

I noticed the "code" tag too late, and posted in the wrong place.
Soooo... I think that as a new entry I did good enough, right?

Hello to everybody!

Well most people's first post is to ask a question rather than provide some help so your definitely holding a positive balance as far as karma concerned
