I am able to get date and time using:
DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
How can I get the current date and time separately in the DateTime format itself?
I am not using the DateTime picker dialog box in ASP.NET (C#).

Well, you can get just today's date as a
DateTime
using theToday
property:or more generally, you can use the
Date
property. For example, if you wanted the UTC date you could use:It's not very clear whether that's what you need or not though... if you're just looking to print the date, you can use:
or use an explicit format:
See more about standard and custom date/time format strings. Depending on your situation you may also want to specify the culture.
If you want a more expressive date/time API which allows you to talk about dates separately from times, you might want to look at the Noda Time project which I started. It's not ready for production just yet, but we'd love to hear what you'd like to do with it...
