Storing a short date in a DateTime object
c#, datetime
Solution
`DateTime` is an integer interpreted to represent both parts of DateTime (ie: date and time). You will always have both date and time in `DateTime`. Sorry, there's nothing you can do about it.
You can use .Date to get the date part. In these cases, the time will always be 12:00 but you can just ignore that part if you don't want it.
Problem
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
