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

Have a look at the DateTime.Date property.

Gets the date component of this instance.

Answer 2

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"); 

Answer 3

The easiest way is something like this and it will return only the date:

var date = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();

Answer 4

Use the Date property:

var dateAndTime = DateTime.Now;
var date = dateAndTime.Date;

The date variable will contain the date, the time part will be 00:00:00.

Answer 5

If you are converting it to string, you can easily do it like this.

I'm taking date as your DateTime object.

date.ToString("d");

This will give you only the date.

Answer 6

Declare the variable as a string.

example :

public string dateOfBirth ;

then assign a value like :

dateOfBirth = ((DateTime)(datetimevaluefromDB)).ToShortDateString();
