What I have tried:

DateTime lastday = new DateTime(DateTime.Today.Year, DateTime.Today.Month, DateTime.DaysInMonth(DateTime.Today.Year, DateTime.Today.Month));

Dates in DateTime don't have a format, they only gain a format when you convert them to a string, so if you want the last day in MM/dd/yyyy then do

C#

string dateToShow = lastday.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy");

I tried this but it still came out like 8/31/2016 12:00AM.
i dont need the 12:00am part...i just want 8/31/2016.

there is no way the provided code

string dateToShow = lastday.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy");

prints anything to do with the time - it has format specifiers for Month, Day, Year, separated by '/' - no time components at all - I'd suggest you've made an error somewhere in your code - please check it using the solution supplied - if you're seeing the time when you inspect the lastday DateTime variable in debug mode, thats fine - but this code simply does not write those time values to the console

You'll need to explain how that is getting rendered to the screen as what you do to format the date depends on how it is being rendered.
