DateTime Limitations

Question

Hey Guys,
Total Nebwie here. I am trying to get C# programs to output a date without the Time attached. I can specify DateTime.Date, But all that really does it make the Time 12:00. It doesn't really give me Just the Date. Any way of doing this? your help would be greatly appreciated.

Here are a few other options that might be of interest:
DateTime dt = DateTime .Now.AddDays(20);
MessageBox .Show(dt.ToLongDateString(), "Long Date" );
MessageBox .Show(dt.ToLongTimeString(), "Long Time" );
MessageBox .Show(dt.ToShortDateString(), "Short Date" );
MessageBox .Show(dt.ToShortTimeString(), "Short Time" );
MessageBox .Show(dt.ToString( "MMMM d, yyyy" ), "Custom Format 1" );
MessageBox .Show(dt.ToString( "d MMM yy" ), "Custom Format 2" );
MessageBox .Show(dt.ToString( "d MMM yy" ).ToUpper(), "Custom Format 3" );

Try
DateTime myDateTime;
...
string output = myDateTime.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy")  for the date
for the time
string timeOutput = myDateTime.ToString("hh:mm")
