Have you tried using Date[^] property, something like

C#

System.DateTime.Now.Date

Solution 5

Try
MSDN-[DateTime.Now Property ][^] which responsible to gets a DateTime object that is set to the current date and time on this computer, expressed as the local time.

Solution 6

System.DateTime.Now.ToString(); works fine and shows both date and time , But you can use system.DateTime.Now.Date.ToString(); it will surely work for date

While I applaud your urge to help people, it's a good idea to stick to new questions, rather than 6 year old, solved ones.
Answering old questions can be seen as rep-point hunting, which is a form of site abuse. The more trigger happy amongst us will start the process of banning you from the site if you aren't careful. Stick to new questions and you'll be fine.
But ... since this doesn't actually answer the question - it will provide a string containing midnight if the system is set to it - I recommend that you delete it before you get downvoted. It's a very, very good idea to check your answers work in the OP's environment before you post them...
