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

You can't. A DateTime in .NET always have a time, defaulting to 00:00:00:000. The Date property of a DateTime is also a DateTime (!), thus having a time defaulting to 00:00:00:000 as well.

This is a shortage in the .NET Framework, and it could be argued that DateTime in .NET violates the Single Responsibility Principle.
