How to calculate age from DatePicker?












-1















I am trying to validate that the user is old enough to use my app (> 15). In my app, the user has to set his/her date of birth during the sign up. From that I want to calculate the age in order to check whether the user is old enough.



The XAML code:



<Label Text="Date Of Birth"/>
<DatePicker BackgroundColor="White" Date="{Binding DateSelected}"/>
<Label TextColor="Red" Text="You have to be at least 15 years old" IsVisible="{Binding TooYoung}"/>


I am binding the Date and IsVisible as I am using the pattern MVVM. So, if the user is not old enough the second label should be shown.

          var difference = DateSelected.subtract(DateTime.Today);
          if (difference.TotalDays <= 5475){
          //Trigger error event
          }


          Hope this helps.

          You can try bellow code:



              public bool TooYoung { get; set; }

          private DateTime _DateSelected;

          public DateTime DateSelected
          {
          get { return _DateSelected; }
          set
          {
          if (_DateSelected.Equals(value))
          {
          return;
          }

          _DateSelected = value;

          // check someone is too young or not
          var age = CalculateAge(_DateSelected);
          TooYoung = age <= 15;
          }
          }

          private int CalculateAge(DateTime birthDay)
          {
          int years = DateTime.Now.Year - birthDay.Year;

          if ((birthDay.Month > DateTime.Now.Month) || (birthDay.Month == DateTime.Now.Month && birthDay.Day > DateTime.Now.Day))
          years--;

          return years;
          }
