C# Getting Just Date From Timestamp

c#, sql, timestamp

Solution

DateTime.Parse("2010-05-18 08:36:52:236").ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");

Problem

If I have a timestamp in the form: yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss:mmm How can I just extract the date from the timestamp? For instance, if a timestamp reads: "2010-05-18 08:36:52:236" what is the best way to just get 2010-05-18 from it. What I'm trying to do is isolate the date portion of the timestamp, define a custom time for it to create a new time stamp. Is there a more efficient way to define the time of the timestamp without first taking out the date, and then adding a new time?
