Solution 1

Hi,

Try this line

C#

string shdate=DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();

otherwise retrieve date values from database and then cut into whatever format you want.

You can't - a Date always contains the time since an agreed moment in time, it isn't a date in the sense of 2011-09-16, it is a interval in the sense of xxx milliseconds since midnight on "such-and-such" a date, Universal Coordinated Time.

Don't worry about it - you can mask out the hour:min:sec part when you format it for a display as needed.

you may use like this

update tblTable set Datecolumn=left(getdate(),10)
or
update tblTable set Datecolumn=left(datecolumn,10)
