I am using sql server 2005 express.How shall I write a query to find the difference between 2 dates.I tried like this but it didn’t work properly

select datediff(Day,Day(DateOFApp),Day(getdate())) from Beneficary where BID = 1

If todays date is 20-08-2009 i.e the getdate() as in the query
And DateofApp is 1-08-2009
then the result is okay
It is 19

But If I change the month to 07 and other remaining same
Then I get the same result
It is 19 but the result should be 31+19= 50.

How shall I solve the problem
