I'm trying to store a shortened date (mm/dd/yyyy) into a DateTime object. The following code below is what I am currently trying to do; this includes the time (12:00:00 AM) which I do not want :(
DateTime goodDateHolder = Convert.ToDateTime(DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString());
Result will be 10/19/2009 12:00:00 AM

1. In most countries of the world, dates are written in order DAY/MONTH/YEAR, e.g., 4 July 1999, abbreviated 4/7/1999. 2. In eastern Asia, however, dates are written in order YEAR/MONTH/DAY: 1999 July 4, abbreviated 1999/7/4.
ToString() − One more way to get the date from DateTime is using ToString() extension method. The advantage of using ToString() extension method is that we can specify the format of the date that we want to fetch. DateTime.

You only have two options in this situation.
1) Ignore the time part of the value.
2) Create a wrapper class.
Personally, I am inclined to use option 1.
