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

See, here you can get only date by passing a format string. You can get a different date format as per your requirement as given below for current date:

DateTime.Now.ToString("M/d/yyyy");

Result : "9/1/2015"

DateTime.Now.ToString("M-d-yyyy");

Result : "9-1-2015"

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

Result : "2015-09-01"

DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");

Result : "2015-09-01 09:20:10"
