Parsing in TimeSpan

1
Im trying to get the years so I can display to the user how old he is. Using the following code I can get the days but is there a way to convert the days to a intiger so I can divide by 365 . Or is there a simpler way to do this.

// variable
DateTime datBirth;
DateTime datTodaysDate;

// Output for D.O.B.
Console.WriteLine("What is your Date of birth using the following format January 01,2009 would be 01/01/2009: ");
datBirth = DateTime.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

// Capturing todays date
datTodaysDate = DateTime.Now;

// Time span
TimeSpan diffDate = datTodaysDate-datBirth;


// Spit it out
Console.WriteLine("You are : ");
Console.WriteLine(diffDate.Days.ToString() + " Days Old");



Console.ReadLine();
