Strip seconds from datetime

Question

I want to trip/remove seconds from date time. I checked some solution but showing solution using format string like

DateTime datetime = DateTime.UtcNow;
         


        

Answer 1

How about this rather elegant solution?

new DateTime(DateTime.UtcNow.Ticks / 600000000 * 600000000)

... which will also strip any milli/micro/nanoseconds.
