How to remove time portion of date in C# in DateTime object only [closed]

Answer 1

I need to remove time portion of date time...

It is impossible. You can't have a DateTime instance without time information. For example, you can't have a DateTime instance as just 06/26/2014 or just 00:00:00:000 only.

If you wanna get only date part of your instance, you can use DateTime.Date property.

Gets the date component of this instance.

But still, this .Date property assign it's time part to midnight.

Remember, a DateTime doesn't have any implicit format. It just have date and time values. The concept of format only applies when you want to show it as a string.

In a representation part, you have to use string representation as;

yourDateTime.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Answer 2

You can use the Date property of DateTime object to get only day.

DateTime dateOnly = date1.Date;

If you want string of Date from the DateTime object then use the ToString method by providing it the format. You can read more about custom date format in this MSDN article.

string strDate =  date.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy");

Answer 3

var dateAndTime = DateTime.Now;
var date = dateAndTime.Date;

The date variable will contain the date, the time part will be 00:00:00.

Answer 4

You can't create a DateTime object without a time in it. It always has some time in it.

If you want to output it without a time portion, you can use a format string to do so:

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

Standard Date and Time Format Strings
Custom Date and Time Format Strings

As others have said, you can access date.Date to get a value with any specific time information omitted, but that will still have a time of 00:00 AM.
