This will still have time component it will only be 00:00:00.00 (or 12AM for those with english culture) - it is how you format it on UI that matters.

You can't - but it doesn't matter! :laugh:

A DateTime value is just that: a Date and a Time - in fact, it's stored internally as a number of microseconds since an arbitrary point in time, so it physically can't exist as a date output a time component.

But it doesn't matter, because the only time that the Time component is significant is when you try to present the DateTime value to the user by formatting it into a string.
The default conversion includes the full date and time in the current Culture specified format, but you can select any formatting you want: Formatting a DateTime for display - format string description[^]
