How to remove time portion of date in C# in DateTime object only?

Question

I need to remove time portion of date time or probably have the date in following format in object form not in the form of string.

Answer 1

in my experience none of the said solutions worked, maybe because I wanted to remove the time from extracted date from database, but the code below worked fine:

var date = target_date.Value.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");
