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。

这是我所需要的。对我来说，一个月的哪一天并不重要，因为它总是碰巧是一个月的最后一天。

public static int MonthDiff(DateTime d1, DateTime d2){
    int retVal = 0;

    if (d1.Month<d2.Month)
    {
        retVal = (d1.Month + 12) - d2.Month;
        retVal += ((d1.Year - 1) - d2.Year)*12;
    }
    else
    {
        retVal = d1.Month - d2.Month;
        retVal += (d1.Year - d2.Year)*12;
    }
    //// Calculate the number of years represented and multiply by 12
    //// Substract the month number from the total
    //// Substract the difference of the second month and 12 from the total
    //retVal = (d1.Year - d2.Year) * 12;
    //retVal = retVal - d1.Month;
    //retVal = retVal - (12 - d2.Month);

    return retVal;
}

如果您想要完整月份的确切数目，总是正的(2000-01-15,2000-02-14返回0)，则考虑完整月份是当您到达下个月的同一天时(类似于年龄计算)

public static int GetMonthsBetween(DateTime from, DateTime to)
{
    if (from > to) return GetMonthsBetween(to, from);

    var monthDiff = Math.Abs((to.Year * 12 + (to.Month - 1)) - (from.Year * 12 + (from.Month - 1)));

    if (from.AddMonths(monthDiff) > to || to.Day < from.Day)
    {
        return monthDiff - 1;
    }
    else
    {
        return monthDiff;
    }
}

编辑原因:旧代码在某些情况下不正确，如:

new { From = new DateTime(1900, 8, 31), To = new DateTime(1901, 8, 30), Result = 11 },

Test cases I used to test the function:

var tests = new[]
{
    new { From = new DateTime(1900, 1, 1), To = new DateTime(1900, 1, 1), Result = 0 },
    new { From = new DateTime(1900, 1, 1), To = new DateTime(1900, 1, 2), Result = 0 },
    new { From = new DateTime(1900, 1, 2), To = new DateTime(1900, 1, 1), Result = 0 },
    new { From = new DateTime(1900, 1, 1), To = new DateTime(1900, 2, 1), Result = 1 },
    new { From = new DateTime(1900, 2, 1), To = new DateTime(1900, 1, 1), Result = 1 },
    new { From = new DateTime(1900, 1, 31), To = new DateTime(1900, 2, 1), Result = 0 },
    new { From = new DateTime(1900, 8, 31), To = new DateTime(1900, 9, 30), Result = 0 },
    new { From = new DateTime(1900, 8, 31), To = new DateTime(1900, 10, 1), Result = 1 },
    new { From = new DateTime(1900, 1, 1), To = new DateTime(1901, 1, 1), Result = 12 },
    new { From = new DateTime(1900, 1, 1), To = new DateTime(1911, 1, 1), Result = 132 },
    new { From = new DateTime(1900, 8, 31), To = new DateTime(1901, 8, 30), Result = 11 },
};

简单快速的解决方案，计算2个日期之间的总月份。 如果你只想得到不同的月份，而不计算From date中的月份-只需从代码中删除+1。

public static int GetTotalMonths(DateTime From, DateTime Till)
        {
            int MonthDiff = 0;

            for (int i = 0; i < 12; i++)
            {
                if (From.AddMonths(i).Month == Till.Month)
                {
                    MonthDiff = i + 1;
                    break;
                }
            }

            return MonthDiff;
        }

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)");
    }

        var endMonthDays = DateTime.DaysInMonth(EndDate.Year, EndDate.Month);

        years = EndDate.Year - BeginDate.Year - 1;

        }
        else if(beginMonthDays == BeginDate.Day) {

        }
        else if(endMonthDays == EndDate.Day) {

        // For all the other cases
        else if(EndDate.Day > BeginDate.Day) {
            months++;

        }
        if(months >= 12) {
            years++;
            months = months - 12;
        }
    }

简单的修复。工作的100%

        var exactmonth = (date1.Year - date2.Year) * 12 + date1.Month - 
        date2.Month +  (date1.Day >= date2.Day ? 0 : -1);
        Console.WriteLine(exactmonth);
