I use a UWP DatePicker control in my UWP app to get a birth date.
I named my control UxDate.
DatePicker has a .Date property which is a "DateTimeOffset".
But since I want a DateTime, I can call .DateTime on .Date which will return a DateTime.
Since I don't care about the time portion, I then use just .Date on DateTime to get just the date portion.
So, once the user selects a date with the DatePicker, I can retrieve it so:
details.BirthDate = this.UxDate.Date.DateTime.Date;

You could use one of the programming forum 
I'd rather be phishing!

Sorry if you think this is a "programming question".

You're already past your "sell by" date, just like me!

Thank you.
In general, I lack a sense of humor, but once in a while I find something amusing and feel the need to share. I agonized about posting in the "Lounge" (of a "programming web site"), but since I wasn't able to come up with a comparable "computer cartoon", I though I would risk it. Some people are better with words than pictures, obviously.

I'm not saying you're old or anything but...
You are dating yourself...

Without context, it would be fun review comment once they see this code.

Exactly! You got it too.

Actually, leaves do make great fertilizer, even for lawns, provided that they're not lying too thickly.

The DateTimeOffset already exposes the Date property:
DateTimeOffset.Date Property (System) | Microsoft Docs[^]
So your code should be:
details.BirthDate = this.UxDate.Date.Date; There, that's much better!

Like most people lately (I suspect) I've been using Amazon and FleaBay more than usual simply because I can get the bits I want reasonably quickly, and don't have to meet infected people ...
And I've noticed that since the start of the pandemic, their backend systems have been getting worse and worse - most of the time now I get a "we're going to deliver your order today!" email about 6 or 8 hours after the goods arrived on my doorstep. You can sort of understand this, volume is way up, and systems are getting clogged.
And that means one of two things:
1) AWS doesn't expand automatically / gracefully to meet need / volume levels
Or
2) Amazon don't use their own cloud offering.
Neither of these exactly fills me with desire to use AWS: either it doesn't actually do what they say, it costs way too much to expand it to fit the need, or they don't trust it enough to use it ...
Anyone here from Amazon and have an idea which it is?

Both...

3) Debug/testing code made it into production.
Thread.Sleep(new TimeSpan(8, 0, 0));

Hmmm,
Maybe your e-mails are being relayed via the SMTP server on Tethys[^] delaying the delivery time.

Hmmm ... even I didn't try that one: "The cheque is en route to Tethys ..."

This was in regards to informing me of a looming presentation for several islands in the middle of the Pacific which I'm not looking forward to. 
I don't have the time or inclination to argue so I agree to...whatever it was 
and get back to...whatever it was I was doing before being interrupted my numerous phone calls since I started this message over 2 hours ago! Sorry, rant over!
