Solution 1

while fetching the data from table in sql use convert to char, then it won't show timing in the grid view

for eg

SQL

select convert(char,colmname) from tblname

or use convert.Tostring() in front end.

The DateTime object in .Net has a ToString method with a large number of overrides.

You can use this to get just the date part but there are many ways using locales and globalization.

But in the simplest term, if you're not worry about multi national programming you could do this:

C#

DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy")

or

C#

DateTime.Now.ToString("MM-dd-yyyy")

If you want to use the locale settings you could try:

C#

DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString()

or

C#

DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString()
