SqlMethods.DateDiffMonth Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Data.Linq.SqlClient

Assembly:

System.Data.Linq.dll

Counts the number of month boundaries between two specified dates.

Overloads

DateDiffMonth(DateTime, DateTime)	Counts the number of month boundaries between two non-nullable dates.
DateDiffMonth(DateTimeOffset, DateTimeOffset)	Counts the number of month boundaries between two non-nullable dates.
DateDiffMonth(Nullable<DateTime>, Nullable<DateTime>)	Counts the number of month boundaries between two nullable dates.
DateDiffMonth(Nullable<DateTimeOffset>, Nullable<DateTimeOffset>)	Counts the number of month boundaries between two nullable dates.

Remarks

Corresponds to the SQL Server DATEDIFF function using month to specify the type of time boundary crossed. For more about this SQL Server function, see DATEDIFF.

DateDiffMonth(DateTime, DateTime)

Public Shared Function DateDiffMonth (startDate As DateTime, endDate As DateTime) As Integer

Parameters

startDate

DateTime

endDate

DateTime

The end date for the time period.

Returns

Int32

The number of month boundaries between the two specified dates.

Remarks

Corresponds to the SQL Server DATEDIFF function using month to specify the type of time boundary crossed. For more about this SQL Server function, see DATEDIFF.

DateDiffMonth(DateTimeOffset, DateTimeOffset)

Counts the number of month boundaries between two non-nullable dates.

public:
 static int DateDiffMonth(DateTimeOffset startDate, DateTimeOffset endDate);

public static int DateDiffMonth (DateTimeOffset startDate, DateTimeOffset endDate);

static member DateDiffMonth : DateTimeOffset * DateTimeOffset -> int

Public Shared Function DateDiffMonth (startDate As DateTimeOffset, endDate As DateTimeOffset) As Integer

Parameters

startDate

DateTimeOffset

The start date for the time period.

endDate

DateTimeOffset

The end date for the time period.

Returns

Int32

The number of month boundaries between the two specified dates.

Remarks

Corresponds to the SQL Server DATEDIFF function using month to specify the type of time boundary crossed. For more about this SQL Server function, see DATEDIFF.

DateDiffMonth(Nullable<DateTime>, Nullable<DateTime>)

Counts the number of month boundaries between two nullable dates.

public:
 static Nullable<int> DateDiffMonth(Nullable<DateTime> startDate, Nullable<DateTime> endDate);

public static int? DateDiffMonth (DateTime? startDate, DateTime? endDate);

static member DateDiffMonth : Nullable<DateTime> * Nullable<DateTime> -> Nullable<int>

Public Shared Function DateDiffMonth (startDate As Nullable(Of DateTime), endDate As Nullable(Of DateTime)) As Nullable(Of Integer)

Parameters

startDate

Nullable<DateTime>

The start date for the time period.

endDate

Nullable<DateTime>

The end date for the time period.

Returns

Nullable<Int32>

When both parameters are not null, returns the number of month boundaries between the two specified dates. When one or both parameters are null, returns a null value.

Remarks

Corresponds to the SQL Server DATEDIFF function using month to specify the type of time boundary crossed. For more about this SQL Server function, see DATEDIFF.

DateDiffMonth(Nullable<DateTimeOffset>, Nullable<DateTimeOffset>)

static member DateDiffMonth : Nullable<DateTimeOffset> * Nullable<DateTimeOffset> -> Nullable<int>

Public Shared Function DateDiffMonth (startDate As Nullable(Of DateTimeOffset), endDate As Nullable(Of DateTimeOffset)) As Nullable(Of Integer)

Parameters

startDate

Nullable<DateTimeOffset>

The start date for the time period.

endDate

Nullable<DateTimeOffset>

The end date for the time period.

Returns

Nullable<Int32>

When both parameters are not null, returns the number of month boundaries between the two specified dates. When one or both parameters are null, returns a null value.
