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?

这里有一个简单的解决方案,至少对我来说是有效的。它可能不是最快的,因为它在循环中使用了很酷的DateTime的AddMonth功能:

public static int GetMonthsDiff(DateTime start, DateTime end)
{
    if (start > end)
        return GetMonthsDiff(end, start);

    int months = 0;
    do
    {
        start = start.AddMonths(1);
        if (start > end)
            return months;

        months++;
    }
    while (true);
}

下面是一个使用VB的更简洁的解决方案。只适用于年、月、日的净日期。你也可以在c#中加载DateDiff库。

Date1必须<= date2

VB。网

Dim date1 = Now.AddDays(-2000)
Dim date2 = Now
Dim diffYears = DateDiff(DateInterval.Year, date1, date2) - If(date1.DayOfYear > date2.DayOfYear, 1, 0)
Dim diffMonths = DateDiff(DateInterval.Month, date1, date2) - diffYears * 12 - If(date1.Day > date2.Day, 1, 0)
Dim diffDays = If(date2.Day >= date1.Day, date2.Day - date1.Day, date2.Day + (Date.DaysInMonth(date1.Year, date1.Month) - date1.Day))

C#

DateTime date1 = Now.AddDays(-2000);
DateTime date2 = Now;
int diffYears = DateDiff(DateInterval.Year, date1, date2) - date1.DayOfYear > date2.DayOfYear ? 1 : 0;
int diffMonths = DateDiff(DateInterval.Month, date1, date2) - diffYears * 12 - date1.Day > date2.Day ? 1 : 0;
int diffDays = date2.Day >= date1.Day ? date2.Day - date1.Day : date2.Day + (System.DateTime.DaysInMonth(date1.Year, date1.Month) - date1.Day);

有3种情况:同一年,前一年和其他年份。

如果日期不重要的话……

public int GetTotalNumberOfMonths(DateTime start, DateTime end)
{
    // work with dates in the right order
    if (start > end)
    {
        var swapper = start;
        start = end;
        end = swapper;
    }

    switch (end.Year - start.Year)
    {
        case 0: // Same year
            return end.Month - start.Month;

        case 1: // last year
            return (12 - start.Month) + end.Month;

        default:
            return 12 * (3 - (end.Year - start.Year)) + (12 - start.Month) + end.Month;
    }
}

在这个问题上没有很多明确的答案,因为你总是在假设事情。

这个解决方案在两个日期之间进行计算,假设您想保存一个月中的某一天进行比较,(这意味着在计算中考虑了这个月中的某一天)

例如,如果你的日期是2012年1月30日,2012年2月29日就不是一个月,但2013年3月1日就不是一个月。

它经过了相当彻底的测试,可能稍后我们会在使用时清理它,但这里:

private static int TotalMonthDifference(DateTime dtThis, DateTime dtOther)
{
    int intReturn = 0;
    bool sameMonth = false;

    if (dtOther.Date < dtThis.Date) //used for an error catch in program, returns -1
        intReturn--;

    int dayOfMonth = dtThis.Day; //captures the month of day for when it adds a month and doesn't have that many days
    int daysinMonth = 0; //used to caputre how many days are in the month

    while (dtOther.Date > dtThis.Date) //while Other date is still under the other
    {
        dtThis = dtThis.AddMonths(1); //as we loop, we just keep adding a month for testing
        daysinMonth = DateTime.DaysInMonth(dtThis.Year, dtThis.Month); //grabs the days in the current tested month

        if (dtThis.Day != dayOfMonth) //Example 30 Jan 2013 will go to 28 Feb when a month is added, so when it goes to march it will be 28th and not 30th
        {
            if (daysinMonth < dayOfMonth) // uses day in month max if can't set back to day of month
                dtThis.AddDays(daysinMonth - dtThis.Day);
            else
                dtThis.AddDays(dayOfMonth - dtThis.Day);
        }
        if (((dtOther.Year == dtThis.Year) && (dtOther.Month == dtThis.Month))) //If the loop puts it in the same month and year
        {
            if (dtOther.Day >= dayOfMonth) //check to see if it is the same day or later to add one to month
                intReturn++;
            sameMonth = true; //sets this to cancel out of the normal counting of month
        }
        if ((!sameMonth)&&(dtOther.Date > dtThis.Date))//so as long as it didn't reach the same month (or if i started in the same month, one month ahead, add a month)
            intReturn++;
    }
    return intReturn; //return month
}

似乎DateTimeSpan解决方案使许多人满意。我不知道。让我们考虑一下:

BeginDate = 1972/2/29销售= 1972/4/28。

基于DateTimeSpan的答案是:

1年(s), 2个月(s)和0天(s)

我实现了一个方法,在此基础上,答案是:

1年、1个月及28天

显然没有两个月的时间。我想说的是,因为我们在开始日期的月末,剩下的实际上是整个3月加上结束日期(4月)的月份所经过的天数,所以1个月零28天。

如果你读到这里,你有兴趣,我把方法贴在下面。我在评论中解释了我所做的假设,因为有多少个月,月份的概念是一个不断变化的目标。多次测试,看看答案是否有意义。我通常选择相邻年份的考试日期,一旦我确认了答案,我就会前后移动一两天。到目前为止,它看起来不错,我相信你会发现一些bug:D。代码可能看起来有点粗糙,但我希望它足够清楚:

static void Main(string[] args) {
        DateTime EndDate = new DateTime(1973, 4, 28);
        DateTime BeginDate = new DateTime(1972, 2, 29);
        int years, months, days;
        GetYearsMonthsDays(EndDate, BeginDate, out years, out months, out days);
        Console.WriteLine($"{years} year(s), {months} month(s) and {days} day(s)");
    }

    /// <remarks>
    /// The fundamental idea here is that most of the time all of us agree

    /// 
    private static void GetYearsMonthsDays(DateTime EndDate, DateTime BeginDate, out int years, out int months, out int days ) {
        var beginMonthDays = DateTime.DaysInMonth(BeginDate.Year, BeginDate.Month);
        var endMonthDays = DateTime.DaysInMonth(EndDate.Year, EndDate.Month);
        // get the full years
        years = EndDate.Year - BeginDate.Year - 1;
        // how many full months in the first year
        var firstYearMonths = 12 - BeginDate.Month;
        // how many full months in the last year
        var endYearMonths = EndDate.Month - 1;
        // full months
        months = firstYearMonths + endYearMonths;           
        days = 0;
        // Particular end of month cases
        if(beginMonthDays == BeginDate.Day && endMonthDays == EndDate.Day) {
            months++;
        }
        else if(beginMonthDays == BeginDate.Day) {
            days += EndDate.Day;
        }
        else if(endMonthDays == EndDate.Day) {
            days += beginMonthDays - BeginDate.Day;
        }
        // For all the other cases
        else if(EndDate.Day > BeginDate.Day) {
            months++;
            days += EndDate.Day - BeginDate.Day;
        }
        else if(EndDate.Day < BeginDate.Day) {                
            days += beginMonthDays - BeginDate.Day;
            days += EndDate.Day;
        }
        else {
            months++;
        }
        if(months >= 12) {
            years++;
            months = months - 12;
        }
    }

在我的情况下,需要计算从开始日期到下个月这一天的前一天或从月初到月底的完整月份。

例如:从1/1/2018到31/1/2018是一个完整的月 例2:从5/1/2018到4/2/2018是一个完整的月

基于此,我的解决方案如下:

public static DateTime GetMonthEnd(DateTime StartDate, int MonthsCount = 1)
{
    return StartDate.AddMonths(MonthsCount).AddDays(-1);
}
public static Tuple<int, int> CalcPeriod(DateTime StartDate, DateTime EndDate)
{
    int MonthsCount = 0;
    Tuple<int, int> Period;
    while (true)
    {
        if (GetMonthEnd(StartDate) > EndDate)
            break;
        else
        {
            MonthsCount += 1;
            StartDate = StartDate.AddMonths(1);
        }
    }
    int RemainingDays = (EndDate - StartDate).Days + 1;
    Period = new Tuple<int, int>(MonthsCount, RemainingDays);
    return Period;
}

用法:

Tuple<int, int> Period = CalcPeriod(FromDate, ToDate);

注意:在我的情况下,需要计算完整月份之后的剩余天数,所以如果不是你的情况,你可以忽略天数结果,甚至可以将方法返回值从元组更改为整数。
