I have a maskedtextbox to enter date and two buttons for retrieve and submit of date and a gridview to show the retrieve dates fron sql 2008 database and also a print button to take the print out of the dates enter

CSS

The result in printout is for eexample:-25/09/2013 12:00:00AM which I don't want
I don't want the time 12:00:00AM My result should be only DATE I.E 25/09/2013
why it is taking dafault time with it.

I think the dafault time value(12:00:00AM) came during the conversion process during submit event:-

string str = "insert into date values(@discharge_date,@Discharge_Advice)";
            SqlCommand cmd;
            cmd = new SqlCommand(str, con);
            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@discharge_date", SqlDbType.Date).Value = Convert.ToDateTime(maskedTextBox1.Text);//Here it is converting it in datetime format so how to avoid it so that the conversion would be in DATE only.

           

            con.Open();
            cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
            con.Close();

            MessageBox.Show("Records inserted");

If you want to have only date you can use DateTimeFormatInfo and set the date pattern you want and then insert it into database.

C#

public DateTime StringToDate(string date)
{
    DateTime dt = new DateTime();
    DateTimeFormatInfo format = new DateTimeFormatInfo();
    format.ShortDatePattern = "dd/MMM/yyyy";
    try
    {
        dt = DateTime.Parse(date, format);
    }
    catch (Exception e) { }
    return dt;
}
//Call this function
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@discharge_date", SqlDbType.Date).Value = StringToDate(maskedTextBox1.Text);
