How do I calculate someone's age in C#? *

Question

Given a DateTime representing a person's birthday, how do I calculate their age?

Answer

For some reason Jeff's code didn't seem simple enough. To me this seems simpler and easier to understand:

DateTime today = DateTime.Today;
int age = today.Year - bday.Year;
if (bday > today.AddYears(-age)) age--;
