I use c#, V2005
How I can get difference between two dates and get value in month(s)
I had found some solutions but it is not exactly what I need.
private static int monthDifference (DateTime startDate, DateTime
endDate)
{
int monthsApart = 12 * (startDate.Year - endDate.Year) +
startDate.Month - endDate.Month;
return Math.Abs(months Apart);
}
on this way I can get int values.
For me is important to get value for full and half month, for e.g. 1
month and 15 days…
1 month, 1.5 month, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5 etc. Actually, I want to get some
values from 15 days to 12 months and cover all possibilities 15 days
+15 days +15 days+
something like this: 15 days, 30, 45, 60, …etc.
Is that possible 5 19822

Hi Mike,
I'm not sure this is exactly what you want (your post is a bit unclear
to me), but if you're just looking for 15-day chunks between two
DateTimes, you could just subtract them and get a TimeSpan value, for
example:
DateTime dt1 = DateTime.Now;
DateTime dt2 = DateTime.MinVal ue;
TimeSpan ts = dt1 - dt2;
And then just look at the ts.Days property and divide by 15 (and round
up or down, depending on what you want to do). However, this looks
different from the code you posted so maybe this is not what you want.

Whatever you want, surely it is _possible_.
The main question is figuring out what you want. 60 days is not exactly
two months, so the first question is: do you really want something to do
with months? Or do you just want something rounded to the nearest 15-day
increment?
There are other questions, but you need to at least get a handle on what
it is you really want to do first. Then we can worry about the smaller
details.

not en exact solution but datetime.span gives u something to work
with... but not for 2.5 months - sorta dont think it likes: jan=1,
2=feb and 1.5=jeb? or jab or fan, or ... well ;)

It is related on the duration of marketing campaign. That duration can
be half month, one, one and half, two months etc. User make choice
about it based on months (0.5; 1; 1.5;2;2.5 month etc.) and
"FromDate".
User makes choice how many months and days he wants to take for
campaign. He can choose from 1 to 24 months and 0 or 15 days. I have
two DateTimePicker controls and after he makes choice about duration
and "FromDate" I use Value.AddMonths and AddDays to calculate
"ToDate" and write the both values in DB. [...]
May be this is not a good way to achieve this problem, In that case
please suggest better apporach.
Well, maybe I'm missing something but what I would do is store the
original user selection (the start date, along with the duration in months
and a 0 or 15 day fraction), rather than computing the "ToDate" and
storing that. It's trivial to compute the "ToDate" any time you need it
from the original user input. But it is more complicated to go the other
direction. Not impossible, but certainly harder and given that the
calculations are really to be based on the user's original input, I think
it makes more sense to just store that in the database instead.
All that said, as far as your original question goes, you could use the
code you posted originally, and then add some statements to deal with the
possible half-month. Presumably if the user selected a whole-month
duration, the day-of-month (DateTime.Day) for the "FromDate" and "ToDate"
will be the same. So if they are different, you know you're dealing with
a half-month situation. In that case, it's simply a matter of comparing
the day-of-month for the start and end date; if the start day-of-month is
less than the end day-of-month, you need to add 0.5 to the total month
calculation, and if it's greater, you need to subtract 0.5.
But like I said, that's a lot more complicated code than just adding a
number of months and 0 or 15 days. Your code will be much more
maintainable IMHO if you do it the simple way.

Hi-
I have a lot of monthly time series data. I need to be able to compare
two dates and get the number of months that they are apart.
The datetime module is a daily-frequency data type. It has a timedelta
object that returns the difference in days between two dates:
>>> d1 = datetime.date(2002,1,1)

Hi All,
In C#, How can I get the difference between two dates in number of months?
I tried to use the Substract method of the DateTime class and it is
giving me the difference in TimeSpan,From which I can get the duration
in days, hours and so.. but how can I get the difference in months?
Please reply ASAP. it's urgent.
