Hi Sular !! What about if i want to calculate the age of a person . For example i ask a user to input his date of birth and i will calculate his age by years months days and minutes may be. Is there any function to calculate the age rather than days. THANKS!!

It should work DateTime curDate = DateTime.Now; DateTime date1 = new DateTime(201011000); TimeSpan diff = date1 - curDate; int daysdiff = diff.Days and so on
