Don't want Date Part but till want to retrieve DateTime type

  • Hello friends ! this is my first topic on this forum !!

    I am in trouble.. I am developing a web application using ASP.Net with C# and SQL Server 2005. I don't want to show date part where I want to show only time and vice versa. But all peoples on web suggesting me to convert it into varchar and all that... But my problem is the variable which I am assigning the result is datetime type so cant assign varchar converted result to it (Don't tell me take varchar type variable as I don'y have access to change it. Iis in a DLL).

    I hope my English is capable to describe my problem. Thanks in advance.

    This returns just the date, although time is still present as 00:00:00. See the discussion for that article for further examples.

  • Ya but you can format the date to whatever you want once in ASPX. I would search there rather than SQL side.

  • Please try this

    SELECT DATEADD(dd,DATEDIFF(dd,0,getdate()),0)

    Which will give the date with no time.

    I agree with this - it seems to me that this is a presentation issue, not a storage/retrieval issue.

  • Format it in your C# code, see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kb3ddd4(v=VS.100).aspx#Y480

    There are standard date/time formats available, but this should give you a good idea on how to accomplish this in your code.
