DateTime is a type that inherently includes the time. There is no "date only" type in .NET.

If you want to strip out the time component you can do so by subtracting a TimeSpan, along this line:

TimeSpan timePortion = new TimeSpan(myDateTime.Hour,myDateTime.Minute,myDateTime.Second,myDateTime.Millisecond);
DateTime dateWithoutTime = myDate - timePortion;

However it still converts to a display string as midnight on that date. You can use format strings with ToString() to format it for 24 hours or whatever you want. Look up the following topics in VS help:

Standard date and time format strings
Custom date and time format strings
