.net DateTime formatting hide time if midnight?

Question

I'm working on formatting datetime's to display on a graph, and its working great so far. I have the format string:

M/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss

and it prints as I'd like it to except the following: I want to completely hide the HH:mm:ss if the time is midnight.

Is it possible to do without a custom iformatprovider?

Thanks!

Answer 1

DateTime time = DateTime.Now; 
string txt = time.ToString(time == time.Date ? "M/dd/yyyy" : "M/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
