How do I get the current Date in C#

I am using the Reporting feature in Visual Studio and I need to create a prop/variable to store the current date so I can display it on my form. I cannot seem to find the proper way to do this in the report view.

I originally tried a property of : 

public DateTime CurrentDate {get;}

This did not work because there is no setter for it. To fix the problem I :

public DateTime CurrentDate{get{return DateTime.Now;}}

Thanks for the suggestions. They lead me in the right direction.

For the Date only, I would use

DateTime.Today

or

DateTime.Now.Date

You can try with this code

DateTime.Now

You can specify format 

DateTime.Now.ToString("yourFormat")
