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

This way of get only date without time

DateTime date = DateTime.Now;
string Strdateonly = date.ToString("d");

Output = 5/16/2015

Answer 2

Use date.ToShortDateString() to get the date without the time component

var date = DateTime.Now
var shortDate = date.ToShortDateString() //will give you 16/01/2019

use date.ToString() to customize the format of the date

var date = DateTime.Now
var shortDate = date.ToString('dd-MMM-yyyy') //will give you 16-Jan-2019

Answer 3

Try to make your own Structure for that. DateTime object will have date and time both

Answer 4

Came across this post when trying to solve the original Q.

I am using Asp.Net and after some research I have found when you are binding to the value of the date in code behind, you can drop the time so it will not display on screen.

C#:

DateTime Today = DateTime.Now;

aspx:

<%: this.Today.ToShortDateString() %>

Answer 5

You Can Try This for the Only Date From the Datetime

String.Format("{0:d/M/YYYY}",dt);

Where dt is the DateTime

Answer 6

I know this is an old post with many answers, but I haven't seen this way of removing the time portion. Suppose you have a DateTime variable called myDate, with the date with time part. You can create a new DateTime object from it, without the time part, using this constructor:

public DateTime(int year, int month, int day);

Like this:

myDate = new DateTime(myDate.Year, myDate.Month, myDate.Day);

This way you create a new DateTime object based on the old one, with 00:00:00 as time part.
