If your dates are of the DateTime type, you can just substract one from the other, like so:

var span = dtArray1[index] - dtArray1[index - 1];
Console.WriteLine(span.Days); // prints "1836"

The result will be of type TimeSpan. TimeSpan does not have a Years property, so you'll have to calculate the number of years yourself, keeping in mind leap years and whatnot. See How do I calculate someone's age in C#?
