Question

I have an asp.net calendar control that is used to select a date and store it in a database. It is also adding the time which makes reporting difficult. We only need the date not the time. How can I prevent the calendar control from including the time….or making the time the same for every date?

Answer 1

DateTime has a Date property, DateTime.Date that will return just the date with 00:00:00 for the time.

So, when reading the calendar.SelectedDate, use calendar.SelectedDate.Date. This still returns a DateTime but with a zeroed time.

When rendering a DateTime without the time, use ToString(“dd/mm/yyyy”).
