How to remove time portion of date in C# in DateTime object only?

I need to remove time portion of date time or probably have the date in following format in object form not in the form of string.

06/26/2009 00:00:00:000

I can not use any string conversion methods as I need the date in object form.

I tried first converting the DateTime to a string, remove the time specific date from it, but it adds 12:00:00 AM as soon as I convert it back to DateTime object back again.

Use the Date property:

var dateAndTime = DateTime.Now;
var date = dateAndTime.Date;

The date variable will contain the date, the time part will be 00:00:00.
