Time elapsed between two dates in VB.Net?

Question

Can anyone guide me as to how to display the number of years and months that have past, on a text box I placed on a form from the date that the user picked on a date picker control from the same form.

Thanks so much!

I do not have much experience with VB.net. But, you might see if this gets you close enough to work it out.  This should give you the info in a message box.  

Private Sub DetermineNumberofYearsMonths()

          Dim dtStartDate As Date

          dtStartDate = "Date from User's input"

          Dim tsTimeSpan As TimeSpan

          Dim iNumberOfYears As Integer

          Dim iNumberOfMonths As Integer

          tsTimeSpan = Now.Subtract(dtStartDate)

          iNumberOfYears = tsTimeSpan.Years

          iNumberOfMonths = tsTimeSpan.Months

strMsgText = "The time elapsed since " _

& dtStartDate. _

ToShortDateString() _

& " is: " & iNumberOfYears.ToString() _

& " years and " & iNumberOfMonths.ToString() & " months."

MsgBox (strMsgText)

End Sub
