Date vs DateTime

Question

I am working on a program that requires the date of an event to get returned     I am looking for a Date  not a DateTime    Is there a datatype that returns just the date

The Date type is just an alias of the DateTime type used by VB NET  like int becomes Integer   Both of these types have a Date property that returns you the object with the time part set to 00 00 00

The DateTime object has a Property which returns only the date portion of the value       public static void Main         System DateTime  Now   DateAndTime Now      Console WriteLine  The Date and Time is      Now         will return the date and time     Console WriteLine  The Date Only is      Now Date         will return only the date     Console Write  Press any key to continue               Console ReadKey true

You can return DateTime where the time portion is 00 00 00 and just ignore it  The dates are handled as timestamp integers so it makes sense to combine the date with the time as that is present in the integer anyway

Create a wrapper class  Something like this   public class Date IEquatable lt Date gt  IEquatable lt DateTime gt                public Date DateTime date                        value   date Date                     public bool Equals Date other                        return other    null  amp  amp  value Equals other value                      public bool Equals DateTime other                        return value Equals other                      public override string ToString                         return value ToString                      public static implicit operator DateTime Date date                        return date value                    public static explicit operator Date DateTime dateTime                        return new Date dateTime                      private DateTime value          And expose whatever of value you want

Unfortunately  not in the  Net BCL   Dates are usually represented as a DateTime object with the time set to midnight   As you can guess  this means that you have all the attendant timezone issues around it  even though for a Date object you d want absolutely no timezone handling

For this  you need to use the date  but ignore the time value   Ordinarily a date would be a DateTime with time of 00 00 00  The DateTime type has a  Date property which returns the DateTime with the time value set as above

No there isn t  DateTime represents some point in time that is composed of a date and a time  However  you can retrieve the date part via the Date property  which is another DateTime with the time set to 00 00 00    And you can retrieve individual date properties via Day  Month and Year

There is no Date DataType   However you can use DateTime Date to get just the Date   E G   DateTime date   DateTime Now Date

User · Answer

DateTime has a Date property that you can use to isolate the date part   The ToString method also does a good job of only displaying the Date part when the time part is empty
