Awesome code. Thanks for posting, @faisalman. Thanks also to @avinewman and @kmaarouf.
One suggestion, though: include a calculation for weeks.

:)

Thanks for this. Amazing how hard it is to find a library for this.

Is it possible to request a few features? or I could share the code we have added to ours.

a bool IsBirthday function which will return true if its there birthday.

How does this class handle leap birthdays?

Is it possible for a Unit test class that tests different outcomes?

Is there any extension to this class which can calculate Date back from output of this program (e.g. calculate Date back from Year , Month and Days)?

public static void CalculateAge(DateTime DayOfBirth)
		{
			var dt = DateTime.Now;
			var years = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Subtract(DayOfBirth).Ticks).Year - 1;
			var pastYear = DayOfBirth.AddYears(years);
			var months = 0;
			for ( int i = 1; i <= 12; i++)
			{
				if (pastYear.AddMonths(i) == dt)
				{
					months = i;
				}
				else if (pastYear.AddMonths(i) >= dt)
				{
					months = i - 1;
					break;
				}
			}
			
			var days = dt.Subtract(pastYear.AddMonths(months)).Days;
			
			Console.WriteLine(string.Format("It's been {0} years, {1} months, and {2} days since your birthday", years,months, days));
		}

Wow, fantastic. Thank you so mush..

For further development, this code has been moved to https://github.com/faisalman/age-calc-cs, any feedback or suggestions are welcome.. Thank you 😊

Thanks a lot! It saves my day...

Im learning can anyone please explain the code ?

I use this code to calculate Age and it is very simple:
`DateTime birthdays = DateTime.Parse(dateTimePicker1.Text);
DateTime dateNow = DateTime.Parse(dateTimePicker2.Text);
TimeSpan urBirthday = dateNow - birthdays;
label3.Text = urBirthday.Days.ToString();
label3.Text += "\n All Day :" + string.Format("{0} total days ",urBirthday.TotalDays);
int nowMonth = dateNow.Month;
int birthMonth = birthdays.Month;
int nowYears = dateNow.Year;
int birYear = birthdays.Year;

            int nowDays = dateNow.Day;
            int biDays = birthdays.Day;
            int yy = nowYears - birYear;
            int mm = nowMonth - birthMonth;
            int dd = nowDays - biDays;
            if (mm < 0)
            {
                yy--;
                mm = mm + 12;
            }
            if (dd < 0)
            {
                mm--;
                dd = dd + 31;
            }

            label3.Text += "\n\n year :" + string.Format("{0} years",yy);
            label3.Text += "\n month :" + string.Format("{0} months",mm);
            label3.Text += "\n days :" + string.Format("{0} days",dd);`
