How to display date only from datetime type into datetime object

In string array I have date field, which I want to format for date only and bind it to date time object.

string[] strArray = new string[] { 
  "Mahesh Chand", 
  "Mike Gold", 
  "Raj Beniwal", 
  "Praveen Kumar", 
  "7/10/1974 7:10:24 AM" 
};

DateTime dateFromString = Convert.ToDateTime(strArray[4]);
DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(dateTimeString, "dd/MM/yyyy", null);

Am not getting only date. still am getting date and time.

Use like this

string[] strArray = new string[] { 
  "Mahesh Chand", 
  "Mike Gold", 
  "Raj Beniwal", 
  "Praveen Kumar", 
  "7/10/1974 7:10:24 AM" };

DateTime dateFromString = Convert.ToDateTime(strArray[4]);

string dt= DateTime.ParseExact(dateTimeString, "dd/MM/yyyy", null).ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");

in this way you will get date as string, but if you want only date part as DateTime type then it isn't possible because in DateTime type if you don't specify any time then it will automatically add a default time as 12:00:00 AM(00:00:00) in DateTime

Update

you can use like this for all culture

string dt = DateTime.ParseExact(dateTimeString, "dd/MM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
  .ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");

or you can use simply like this

string[] strArray = new string[] { 
  "Mahesh Chand", 
  "Mike Gold", 
  "Raj Beniwal", 
  "Praveen Kumar", 
  "7/10/1974 7:10:24 AM" };

string dateFromString = Convert.ToDateTime(strArray[4]).ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");

You can take only the Date without Time from a DateTime object in this way: 

DateTime dateFromString = Convert.ToDateTime(strArray[4]);
var onlyDate = dateFromString.Date;
// Display date using short date string.
Console.WriteLine(onlyDate .ToString("d"));
