I'm new to asp.net and I was confused by all the code above and after goofing around for a little bit I was able to get this code to work. All I'm doing is determing the persons age based on their Birth Date that I capture when the user signs up on my site. I save the Birth Date as a datetime string. Below is the code I just used.

int ageindays = (DateTime.Now - pc.BirthDate).Days;

int age = ageindays / 365;

Isn't the use of:

int age = (onDate - birthDate).Year;

easier to determine the age?

DateTime has an overloaded operators that handles the totaling and subtraction of dates.
