Stripping Time from a C# DateTime Object

This guide demonstrates how to remove the time component from a DateTime object in C# without converting it to a string.

The Solution:

Leverage the Date property of the DateTime structure:

DateTime dateAndTime = DateTime.Now;
DateTime dateOnly = dateAndTime.Date;

The dateOnly variable now contains the date portion of dateAndTime, with the time set to midnight (00:00:00). This maintains the data type as a DateTime object, avoiding string conversions.
