'System.Nullable<System.DateTime>' does not contain a definition for 'Year' and no extension method 'Year' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Nullable<System.DateTime>' could be found

BTW. I think this could work as well:

public static int CalcAge(DateTime StartDate, DateTime EndDate)
        {
            DateTime dt = new DateTime(EndDate.Subtract(StartDate).Ticks);
            return dt.Year - 1;
        }
