Gets the date component of this instance.
(in mscorlib.dll)
'Usage
Dim instance As DateTime
Dim value As DateTime
value = instance.Date
'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property Date As DateTime
Property Value
Type:
System..::.DateTimeA new DateTime with the same date as this instance, and the time value set to 12:00:00 midnight (00:00:00).
The following example uses the Date property to extract the date component of a DateTime value with its time component set to zero (or 0:00:00, or midnight). It also illustrates that, depending on the format string used when displaying the DateTime value, the time component can continue to appear in formatted output.
Dim date1 As Date = #6/1/2008 7:47AM#
Console.WriteLine(date1.ToString())
' Get date-only portion of date, without its time.
Dim dateOnly As Date = date1.Date
' Display date using short date string.
Console.WriteLine(dateOnly.ToString("d"))
' Display date using 24-hour clock.
Console.WriteLine(dateOnly.ToString("g"))
Console.WriteLine(dateOnly.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm"))
' The example displays the following output to the console:
' 6/1/2008 7:47:00 AM
' 6/1/2008
' 6/1/2008 12:00 AM
' 06/01/2008 00:00
