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   06 26 2009 00 00 00 000   I can not use any string conversion methods as I need the date in object form   I tried first converting the DateTime to a string  remove the time specific date from it  but it adds 12 00 00 AM as soon as I convert it back to DateTime object back again

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

I know this is an old post with many answers  but I haven t seen this way of removing the time portion  Suppose you have a DateTime variable called myDate  with the date with time part  You can create a new DateTime object from it  without the time part  using this constructor   public DateTime int year  int month  int day     Like this   myDate   new DateTime myDate Year  myDate Month  myDate Day     This way you create a new DateTime object based on the old one  with 00 00 00 as time part

Getting the Date part of a DateTime object didn t workout for me because I m working on the client-side and the returned web service values have some null dates  As a result  it tries to get the Date part of a null value and it throws a runtime exception  The following example is how I solved my problem   string dt   employer BirthDay ToString    if dt         dt    N A    else dt   dt Substring 0 10      Get the DateTime value as string into a string variable   Check if it s null  If null  assign a string variable  If not null  get the first 10 characters of the string DateTime value and assign it to the string variable    I m sharing this for future reference

Create a struct that holds only the properties you want  Then an extension method to easily get that struct from an instance of DateTime   public struct DateOnly       public int Day   get  set        public int Month   get  set        public int Year   get  set       public static class DateOnlyExtensions       public static DateOnly GetDateOnly this DateTime dt                return new DateOnly                       Day   dt Day              Month   dt Month              Year   dt Year                      Usage  DateTime dt   DateTime Now  DateOnly result   dt GetDateOnly
