var update = Update.Set(\"Date         


        

Answer 1

Mongodb Date value stored in "UTC DateTime" format which comprises of both date & time. so you just cannot store date alone in the field. Instead you can get the date part alone in your application code after retrieving from mongo.

like in c#

datevalue.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy");

or

datevalue.ToShortDateString()
