How to get the current date without the time?

Question

I am able to get date and time using:

DateTime now = DateTime.Now;

How can I get the current date and time separately in the DateTime forma

Answer 1

Current Time :

DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm:ss");

Current Date :

DateTime.Today.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy");

Answer 2

DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");

Answer 3

string now = Convert.ToString(DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString());
Console.WriteLine(now);
Console.ReadLine();

Answer 4

There is no built-in date-only type in .NET.

The convention is to use a DateTime with the time portion set to midnight.

The static DateTime.Today property will give you today's date.

Answer 5

Use DateTime.Today property. It will return date component of DateTime.Now. It is equivalent of DateTime.Now.Date.

Answer 6

You can use following code to get the date and time separately.

DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
string date = now.GetDateTimeFormats('d')[0];
string time = now.GetDateTimeFormats('t')[0];

You can also, check the MSDN for more information.
