Months Difference

[bootzwiz]

How can we find months difference between two dates.

For Exp :

Start Date : 05/03/2007
End Date : 06/10/2007

How to calucate months difference for any dates?.

[CODE=javascript]
var a = new Date (2000, 1, 1) ;
var b = new Date (2002, 5, 1) ;
alert (12 * (b.getYear() - a.getYear()) + b.getMonth() - a.getMonth()) ;
[/CODE]

private int CalculateMonthDifference(DateTime startDate, DateTime endDate)
		{
			int diff = 0;

			while(startDate <= endDate)
			{
				endDate = endDate.AddMonths(-1);
				diff++;
			}
			if (diff == 0)
			{
				return diff;
			}
			else
			{
				return diff -1;
			}
		}

This will loop through and give the number of months difference by subtracting 1 month from the end date until it less than the start date. Ok its not elegent but it works and the number of loops is not massive (e.g. 10 years diff would be 1200 loops which on todays machines is nothing)
