extract the date part from DateTime in C#

I have this code that display the date.

DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(date1,"ddMMyy",System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);

And it gives me an output of 6/12/2012 12:00:00 AM.

But what I need to display is the date only, how can I remove the time so that the only one to be display is the date?

Use the method ToShortDateString() of DateTime

dt.ToShortDateString();

See here for refs

The string returned by the ToShortDateString method is culture-sensitive. It reflects the pattern defined by the current culture's DateTimeFormatInfo object.

This one is what you need

String.Format("{0:M/d/yyyy}", dt);    // "3/9/2008"

The patterns for DateTime.ToString ('d') :

 DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(date1,"ddMMyy",System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);

// Get date-only portion of date, without its time.
DateTime dateOnly = dt.Date;
// Display date using short date string.
Console.WriteLine(dateOnly.ToString("d"));
