In addition to this your CountDays function does not work. If you give it two dates with the year value less than 4 apart, it will never think there is any leap years in between them.
E.g. 2000/01/01 - 2001/01/01

I don't think you can use the difference between two years to determine the number of leap years, because once you subtract one from the other, you lose the information about whether either year was a special case (i.e divisible by 100 or 400).
