find current age

Question

Hi, I will be getting from source the date format as string mm/dd/yyyy ("11/04/1920").
I would like to know is there any easy logic to find out the Age.
I would like to know if the Age is >=16

Answer 1

Check this method:

string example = "11/04/1920";
DateTime date = DateTime.Parse( example, CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo( "en-US" ) );
DateTime today = DateTime.Today;
int age = today.Year - date.Year;
if( date.AddYears( age ) > today ) age -= 1;

if( age >= 16 )
{
   // . . .
}

Answer 2

Step 1: Create a method to Check the Age

public static int GetAge(DateTime dob)
{

return DateTime.Now.AddYears(-dob.Year).Year;  

}

Step 2: Call the method

   string inputDate="11/04/1920";

   if(GetAge(Convert.ToDateTime(inputDate))>=16)
    {
     // TODO:
    }
    else
    {
       //TODO:
    }
