C# Data type for Birthdate

There is no Date type. If I want an object that is only a date with no time, like a birthdate, what type would I use?

I'm sure this question has been asked and answered already, but I'm not finding this exact question, only lots about date and datetime in general.

Thanks!

(Edit: I am not asking how to remove the date, or the time, from a DateTime. I was hoping that there might be a data type that stores ONLY date, and not a date and a time together. The answer, it seems, is No.)

Update: DateOnly (and TimeOnly) types (Structures) have been added to .NET 6.

See: How to use the DateOnly and TimeOnly structures.

There not is an only Date type... Use Date type, and set only the date, and to get only the date use ex: DateTime.Now.Date

There is no just Date type, use the DateTime data type and only set the date, the time will be all 0s.
