Not a duplicate. This question is about putting the age value in a textbox, not how to calculate it in the first place. — Deestan, Jan 27 '14 at 09:00
I am unsure how the title of the question relates to the posted code and what the OP actually wants to know. — Adam Straughan, Jan 27 '14 at 09:05

Simply do this:

textBox1.Text = Convert.ToString(CalculateAge(someDate));

You have to assign the calculated value to the Text property of your textbox. But as the return type of your function is int you first have to Convert it to a string, as a TextBox can only display strings.
