Output DateTime date but no time using only CultureInfo

Question

My code:

dateObject.Value.ToString(Model.Culture)

dateObject is of type DateTime? while Model.Culture is of type CultureInfo.

The (culture dependent) output:

17/08/1960 00:00:00

I'd like to remove the 00:00:00 part without having to specify any format provider. Model.Culture should contains the format for the date already while somewhere else (but where and how?) I'd like to specify not to output any time.

I was thinking to cast DateTime over a Date object but, unfortunately, there is no such object in C#. Hardcoding the date format directly will result in the impossibility to create a dynamic and culture dependent program.

Answer 1

" without having to specify any format provider" ... "Hardcoding the date format directly will result in the impossibility to create a dynamic and culture dependent program."

You can use the overload that enables to provide a format string and the culture:

string result = dateObject.Value.ToString("d", Model.Culture);

or you change the culture if that is desired/possible:

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = Model.Culture;
string result = dateObject.Value.ToShortDateString();
