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?

基于上面出色的DateTimeSpan工作,我将代码规范化了一些;这似乎很有效:

public class DateTimeSpan
{
  private DateTimeSpan() { }

  private DateTimeSpan(int years, int months, int days, int hours, int minutes, int seconds, int milliseconds)
  {
    Years = years;
    Months = months;
    Days = days;
    Hours = hours;
    Minutes = minutes;
    Seconds = seconds;
    Milliseconds = milliseconds;
  }

  public int Years { get; private set; } = 0;
  public int Months { get; private set; } = 0;
  public int Days { get; private set; } = 0;
  public int Hours { get; private set; } = 0;
  public int Minutes { get; private set; } = 0;
  public int Seconds { get; private set; } = 0;
  public int Milliseconds { get; private set; } = 0;

  public static DateTimeSpan CompareDates(DateTime StartDate, DateTime EndDate)
  {
    if (StartDate.Equals(EndDate)) return new DateTimeSpan();
    DateTimeSpan R = new DateTimeSpan();
    bool Later;
    if (Later = StartDate > EndDate)
    {
      DateTime D = StartDate;
      StartDate = EndDate;
      EndDate = D;
    }

    // Calculate Date Stuff
    for (DateTime D = StartDate.AddYears(1); D < EndDate; D = D.AddYears(1), R.Years++) ;
    if (R.Years > 0) StartDate = StartDate.AddYears(R.Years);
    for (DateTime D = StartDate.AddMonths(1); D < EndDate; D = D.AddMonths(1), R.Months++) ;
    if (R.Months > 0) StartDate = StartDate.AddMonths(R.Months);
    for (DateTime D = StartDate.AddDays(1); D < EndDate; D = D.AddDays(1), R.Days++) ;
    if (R.Days > 0) StartDate = StartDate.AddDays(R.Days);

    // Calculate Time Stuff
    TimeSpan T1 = EndDate - StartDate;
    R.Hours = T1.Hours;
    R.Minutes = T1.Minutes;
    R.Seconds = T1.Seconds;
    R.Milliseconds = T1.Milliseconds;

    // Return answer. Negate values if the Start Date was later than the End Date
    if (Later)
      return new DateTimeSpan(-R.Years, -R.Months, -R.Days, -R.Hours, -R.Minutes, -R.Seconds, -R.Milliseconds);
    return R;
  }
}

其他回答

您可以使用以下扩展: 代码

public static class Ext
{
    #region Public Methods

    public static int GetAge(this DateTime @this)
    {
        var today = DateTime.Today;
        return ((((today.Year - @this.Year) * 100) + (today.Month - @this.Month)) * 100 + today.Day - @this.Day) / 10000;
    }

    public static int DiffMonths(this DateTime @from, DateTime @to)
    {
        return (((((@to.Year - @from.Year) * 12) + (@to.Month - @from.Month)) * 100 + @to.Day - @from.Day) / 100);
    }

    public static int DiffYears(this DateTime @from, DateTime @to)
    {
        return ((((@to.Year - @from.Year) * 100) + (@to.Month - @from.Month)) * 100 + @to.Day - @from.Day) / 10000;
    }

    #endregion Public Methods
}

实现!

int Age;
int years;
int Months;
//Replace your own date
var d1 = new DateTime(2000, 10, 22);
var d2 = new DateTime(2003, 10, 20);
//Age
Age = d1.GetAge();
Age = d2.GetAge();
//positive
years = d1.DiffYears(d2);
Months = d1.DiffMonths(d2);
//negative
years = d2.DiffYears(d1);
Months = d2.DiffMonths(d1);
//Or
Months = Ext.DiffMonths(d1, d2);
years = Ext.DiffYears(d1, d2); 

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。

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.
            //

        }
  var dt1 = (DateTime.Now.Year * 12) + DateTime.Now.Month;
  var dt2 = (DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-13).Year * 12) + DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-13).Month;
  Console.WriteLine(dt1);
  Console.WriteLine(dt2);
  Console.WriteLine((dt1 - dt2));

假设这个月的日期不相关(即2011.1.1和2010.12.31之间的差为1),date1 > date2为正值,date2 > date1为负值

((date1.Year - date2.Year) * 12) + date1.Month - date2.Month

或者,假设你想要两个日期之间的“平均月”的大致数字,下面的方法应该适用于所有日期,但日期差异非常大。

date1.Subtract(date2).Days / (365.25 / 12)

注意,如果您要使用后一种解决方案,那么您的单元测试应该声明应用程序设计使用的最宽日期范围,并相应地验证计算结果。


更新(感谢Gary)

如果使用“平均月份”方法,“每年平均天数”的更准确数字是365.2425。
