要获得月份的差异(包括开始和结束)，而不考虑日期:

DateTime start = new DateTime(2013, 1, 1);
DateTime end = new DateTime(2014, 2, 1);
var diffMonths = (end.Month + end.Year * 12) - (start.Month + start.Year * 12);

如果你只关心月份和年份，想要触及两个日期(例如你想要从JAN/2021到AGO/2022)，你可以使用这个:

int numberOfMonths= (Year2 > Year1 ? ( Year2 - Year1 - 1) * 12 + (12 - Month1) + Month2 + 1 : Month2 - Month1 + 1); 

例子:

Year1/Month1: 2021/10   
Year2/Month2: 2022/08   
numberOfMonths = 11;

或者同年:

Year1/Month1: 2021/10   
Year2/Month2: 2021/12   
numberOfMonths = 3;

如果你只想触碰其中一个，就去掉两个+ 1。

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);
}

我们是这样做的:

public static int MonthDiff(DateTime date1, DateTime date2)
{
    if (date1.Month < date2.Month)
    {
        return (date2.Year - date1.Year) * 12 + date2.Month - date1.Month;
    }
    else
    {
        return (date2.Year - date1.Year - 1) * 12 + date2.Month - date1.Month + 12;
    }
}
