    There is nothing out of the box (AFAIK), partly because there is no single answer. You can calculate the difference is several different ways.

    You'll find many discussions about this topic (e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1525990/difference-in-months); just use your favorite search engine. You may also find that somebody else's solutions suits you and use it. Otherwise just calculate it by yourself.

    As Martin points out, this is not a trivial calculation.

    Leap years, uneven lengths of months and different calendar rules for different locales makes it hard to come up with a single correct result of such a calculation.

    Maybe you can use something like the following libary to help you out: www.codeproject.com/.../Time-Period-Library-for-NET
