In previous articles i explained How to Convert Rupees,Currency or Numbers to Words in Asp.net C# and How to Fill Country,State,Cities in the DropDownList in asp.net C#,VB.Net and How to create and consume WCF Services in asp.net ? and Bind,Save,Edit,Update,Cancel,Delete,Paging example in GridView and WCF Service to bind,insert,edit,update,delete from sql server database in asp.net and How to create crystal reports in visual studio 2010 using asp.net .

Implememetation: Now let's create an asp.net website to understand. Place a ScriptManager control, two TextBox and Button control from the Visual studio toolkit.

Also place CalendarExtendar control from the AjaxControlToolKit if you have already installed the AjaxControlToolkit.

If not then you can follow the instructions to install the AjaxControlToolkit from my previous article.

• In the design page (.aspx) design the page as:

<fieldset  style="width:440px;">

    <legend>Get age in years,months,days,hours and seconds from DOB in asp.net</legend>

        <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">

        </asp:ScriptManager>

    <table>

    <tr>

    <td>DOB: </td><td>

        <asp:TextBox ID="txtDOB" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

        <asp:CalendarExtender ID="CalendarExtender1"

         PopupButtonID="txtDOB"

        PopupPosition="Right"

         TargetControlID="txtDOB"

          Format="dd/MM/yyyy"

          StartDate="01/01/1900"

           runat="server">

        </asp:CalendarExtender>

        <asp:Button ID="btnGetAge" runat="server" Text="Get Age"

            onclick="btnGetAge_Click" />

        <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="rfvDOB" runat="server"

            ErrorMessage="Please select Date of Birth" ControlToValidate="txtDOB"

            Display="Dynamic" ForeColor="Red" SetFocusOnError="True"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>

        <asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="rgeDob" runat="server"

            ControlToValidate="txtDOB" ErrorMessage="Please enter dob in dd/mm/yyyy format"

            SetFocusOnError="True"            

            ValidationExpression="^(((0[1-9]|[12]\d|3[01])/(0[13578]|1[02])/((19|[2-9]\d)\d{2}))|((0[1-9]|[12]\d|30)/(0[13456789]|1[012])/((19|[2-9]\d)\d{2}))|((0[1-9]|1\d|2[0-8])/02/((19|[2-9]\d)\d{2}))|(29/02/((1[6-9]|[2-9]\d)(0[48]|[2468][048]|[13579][26])|((16|[2468][048]|[3579][26])00))))$"

            Display="Dynamic" ForeColor="Red"></asp:RegularExpressionValidator>

        </td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

    <td></td><td>

        <asp:TextBox ID="txtCalculatedAge" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine"

            Height="39px" Width="353px" Rows="3"></asp:TextBox>

        </td>

    </tr>

    </table>

    </fieldset>

• Have you noticed the line <%@ Register Assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" Namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" TagPrefix="asp" %> added automatically next to the very first line in the design page. Actually it registers the Ajax Control on placing CalendarExtendar control on design page.

C#.Net Code to get age years,months,days,hours and seconds from DOB in asp.net 

• In the code behind file (.aspx.cs) write the code as:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        if (!Page.IsPostBack)

        {

            CalendarExtender1.EndDate = System.DateTime.Now;

        }       

    }

    private string CalculateAge(DateTime Dob)

    {

        DateTime Now = DateTime.Now;

        int Years = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Subtract(Dob).Ticks).Year - 1;

        DateTime PastYearDate = Dob.AddYears(Years);

        int Months = 0;

        for (int i = 1; i <= 12; i++)

        {

            if (PastYearDate.AddMonths(i) == Now)

            {

                Months = i;

                break;

            }

            else if (PastYearDate.AddMonths(i) >= Now)

            {

                Months = i - 1;

                break;

            }

        }

        int Days = Now.Subtract(PastYearDate.AddMonths(Months)).Days;

        int Hours = Now.Subtract(PastYearDate).Hours;

        int Minutes = Now.Subtract(PastYearDate).Minutes;

        int Seconds = Now.Subtract(PastYearDate).Seconds;

        return String.Format("Age: {0} Year(s) {1} Month(s) {2} Day(s) {3} Hour(s) {4} Second(s)",

                            Years, Months, Days, Hours, Seconds);

    }

  

    protected void btnGetAge_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {    

        try

        {

            string dtVal = txtDOB.Text.Trim();

            DateTime Dob = Convert.ToDateTime(dtVal);

            txtCalculatedAge.Text = CalculateAge(Dob);

        }

        catch{}

    }

VB.Net Code to get age in years,months,days,hours and seconds from DOB in asp.net

 

Design the page same as in the above C# secion and Just replace the line <asp:Button ID="btnGetAge" runat="server" Text="Get Age" onclick="btnGetAge_Click" /> with <asp:Button ID="btnGetAge" runat="server" Text="Get Age"/>

• In the code behind file (.aspx.vb) write the code as:

Protected Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

        If Not Page.IsPostBack Then

            CalendarExtender1.EndDate = System.DateTime.Now

        End If

    End Sub

    Private Function CalculateAge(Dob As DateTime) As String

        Dim Now As DateTime = DateTime.Now

        Dim Years As Integer = New DateTime(DateTime.Now.Subtract(Dob).Ticks).Year - 1

        Dim PastYearDate As DateTime = Dob.AddYears(Years)

        Dim Months As Integer = 0

        For i As Integer = 1 To 12

            If PastYearDate.AddMonths(i) = Now Then

                Months = i

                Exit For

            ElseIf PastYearDate.AddMonths(i) >= Now Then

                Months = i - 1

                Exit For

            End If

        Next

        Dim Days As Integer = Now.Subtract(PastYearDate.AddMonths(Months)).Days

        Dim Hours As Integer = Now.Subtract(PastYearDate).Hours

        Dim Minutes As Integer = Now.Subtract(PastYearDate).Minutes

        Dim Seconds As Integer = Now.Subtract(PastYearDate).Seconds

        Return [String].Format("Age: {0} Year(s) {1} Month(s) {2} Day(s) {3} Hour(s) {4} Second(s)", Years, Months, Days, Hours, Seconds)

    End Function

    Protected Sub btnGetAge_Click(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnGetAge.Click

        Try

            Dim dtVal As String = txtDOB.Text.Trim()

            Dim Dob As DateTime = Convert.ToDateTime(dtVal)

            txtCalculatedAge.Text = CalculateAge(Dob)

        Catch

        End Try

    End Sub
