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

None of the above answers solved my problem on winforms.

the easiest way to reach ONLY date is the simple function in Datetime:

DateTime dt = DateTime.now;
String BirthDate = dt.ToShortDateString();

You will only have date in Birthday string .

Answer 2

I'm surprised no one has mentioned DateTime.Today

var date = DateTime.Today;
// {7/1/2014 12:00:00 AM}

See MSDN

Answer 3

string dt = myCalender.SelectedDate.ToString();
string date = dt.Remove(10);
displayDate.Content = date;

If you take date from calender, with this we also get time. Which is not required all time. Using this we can remove time from date.

Answer 4

You can use this simple code below.

Code: DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();

Ex. Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString());

Answer 5

You can use format strings to give the output string the format you like.

DateTime dateAndTime = DateTime.Now;
Console.WriteLine(dateAndTime.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy")); // Will give you smth like 25/05/2011

Answer 6

For using by datalist, repeater.. in aspx page:<%# Eval("YourDateString").ToString().Remove(10) %>
