How do i verify that an age entered as dd-mm-yyyy is minum 21 today in C#?

Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Hi JJ,

DateTime d = DateTime.Parse(date);
if(d <= DateTime.Now.AddYears(-21))
// over or equal to 21 years

cannot read your question well..

Age entered as dd-mm-yyyy ??? probably date of birth

if yes..

then load it to a datetime object
get the today date loaded to a date time object
get the difference to a timespan object and it have the property you are
looking for, years, months, days, hours etc

I like this solution.
Many thanks
