How to omit time from vb.net 4.0 datepicker output

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I am working on a WPF project with a datepicker and I can't seem to figure out how to eliminate the time stamp from the output. I only need the .SelectedDate returned.

In my code I am converting the date to a string

VB

if DatePicker1.ToString <> "" then

My problem is that the returned string is "2/25/2013 12:00:00 AM"
I only wish to get "2/25/2013" without the time code.
How do I do this?

Use String.Format() or something like

Me.DateTimePicker1.Value.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy")

I wasn't able to delete the solution, but here is an update "I solved it myself" solution...

VB

If DatePicker1.ToString <> "" Then qq = Left(DatePicker1.ToString, Len(DatePicker1.ToString) - 11) : PutText("DATEIN")
