You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.
Create a form called frmDateOfBirth containing a DateTimePicker control, to allow someone to enter their date of birth:

Oh to be this young ...
Attach code to the Show Age button to:
- Use the DateTimePicker's Value property to set the value of a a variable to hold the date entered
- Creates a variable to hold today's date (use System.DateTime.Today)
- Creates a variable to hold the difference between the two in days (using the DateDiff function)
When you run your application, you should see a message similar to this one:

Take the difference in years between the date entered and today's date
That's it!
