Well I'm trying to add only date when some data inserted into database without datetimepicker1.

Everything seems fine till the default time showing along with date.

Is there anyways to get rid of that time showing in database ?

What I have tried:

Private Sub Submit_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Submit.Click
Dim todayDate As Date = Date.Now.ToString(" yyyy-MM-dd ")
Dim command As New SqlCommand("INSERT into EmployeeDetails(AddedOn)Values(@AddedOn)")
command.Parameters.Add("@AddedOn", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = getDate
End Sub

Solution 1

VB.NET

Dim command As New SqlCommand("INSERT into EmployeeDetails(AddedOn)Values(@AddedOn)")
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@AddedOn", Date.Today)

NB: If your column type is defined as datetime or datetime2, this will store the date with a time of 00:00:00. If you want to store the date without any time information, then change your column type to date.
