I assume the questions is broader than only one programming language. If you are using C#, you can use DateTimeOffset to calculate this.

var offset = DateTimeOffset.MinValue;
var lastDate = DateTime.Today;
var firstDate = new DateTime(2006,11,19);


var diff = (lastDate- firstDate);
var resultWithOffset = DateTimeOffset.MinValue.AddDays(diff.TotalDays);
var result = resultWithOffset.AddDays(-offset.Day).AddMonths(-offset.Month).AddYears(-offset.Year);

result.Day, result.Month, result.Year will hold the information you need.
