Remove time from a date/time string

Question

I have date and time stored in my database and I don't want to display both, just the date itself. When I store the date/time in a variable how do I output just the date in C#?

Answer 1

This is very useful:

In your case I would say:

DateTime dt = new DateTime(2008, 3, 9, 16, 5, 7, 123);
String.Format("{0:MM/dd/yy}", dt);  

Answer 2

DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
...=dt.ToLongDateString();
...=dt.ToShortDateString();
