Hi

Construct new Datetime values from value in database
DateTime dt = new DateTime(databasevalue)
then use dt.Date.

Hi,

Try DateTime.ToShortDateString()

Hope this help,

if you want string, you can use:

DateTime aDateTime = getDateTimeFromDB(some criteria);
string str = aDateTime.Value.ToShortDateString();
