I had this issue when inserting date data into a database  you can simply use the struct members separately  In my case it s useful since the sql sentence needs to have the right values and you just need to add the slash or dash to complete the format  no conversions needed   DateTimePicker dtp   new DateTimePicker    String sql    insert into table values     dtp Value Date Year          dtp Value Date Month         dtp Value Date Day           That way you get just the date members without time

Following that this question has been already given a good answer  in WinForms we can also set a Custom Format to the DateTimePicker Format property as Vivek said  this allow us to display the date time in the specified format string within the DateTimePicker  then  it will be simple just as we do to get text from a TextBox       Set the Format type and the CustomFormat string  dateTimePicker1 Format   DateTimePickerFormat Custom      dateTimePicker1 CustomFormat    yyyy MM dd       We are now able to get Date only easily by getting the Text from the DateTimePicker   MessageBox Show  Selected Date      dateTimePicker1 Text   DateTimePicker   MessageBoxButtons OK  MessageBoxIcon Information       NOTE  If you are planning to insert Date only data to a date column type in SQL  see this documentation related to the supported String Literal Formats for date  You can not insert a date in the format string ydm because is not supported   dateTimePicker1 CustomFormat    yyyy dd MM     var qr    INSERT INTO tbl VALUES   dtp    using  var insertCommand   new SqlCommand        try           insertCommand Parameters AddWithValue   dtp   dateTimePicker1 Text        con Open         insertCommand ExecuteScalar            catch  Exception ex             MessageBox Show  Exception message      ex Message   DateTimePicker   MessageBoxButtons OK  MessageBoxIcon Error          the above code ends in the following Exception    Be aware  Cheers

You mean how to get date without the time component  Use DateTimePicker Value Date But you need to format the output to your needs

I m assuming you mean a datetime picker in a winforms application    in your code  you can do the following   string theDate   dateTimePicker1 Value ToShortDateString      or  if you d like to specify the format of the date   string theDate   dateTimePicker1 Value ToString  yyyy-MM-dd
