Solution 1

Depending in what control you show the value you can possibly:
- format the date in the control
- you can format the date before showing it for example using DateTime.ToShortDateString Method [^]
- you can remove the time portion when you fetch the data from the database for example by casting the value to date using using CAST or CONVERT[^] (if this is Sql Server).

Yes, ToShortDateString is simple and best ! +5

Solution 2

Use DateTime.ToString[^] like yourDate.ToString("d/M/yyyy") for showing the date.
