How do you display the date without the time using a DateTime value in C#?

I have a datetime variable in my application. Its value is 01/09/2010 00:00:00. I want to get value of 01/09/2010. Still I want to use the DateTime structure. Is there any method/property for that. I know it is possible using conversion. For example I have DateTime date = new DateTime(2010,09,01); It will display 01/09/2010 00:00:00

I want date to be 01/09/2010 alone.

Is it possible?

Are you looking for a way to format the date for display/printing purposes, or to get rid of the time part if it is given?

Use the DateTime.ToShortDateString() method or the DateTime.Date property, respectively.

Call date.ToShortDateString() so see only the date part of the DateTime object.

To force a specific format (if that is not your default culture format), you can use

date.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");

Note that Im not sure if 01 or 09 is the month in your example. If I have mixed them up, just replace "dd/MM/yyyy" with "MM/dd/yyyy"
