Getting Date or Time only from a DateTime Object
(7 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I know that, Example: DateTime fileCreatedDate = File.GetCreationTime(#"C:\Example\MyTest.txt");will return the date and time of a folder creation but how do I only get the "Date"Example "2014-12-01" or "Decemeber 12,2014" of the folder creation excluding the time?
You can use the DateTime.Date property for that, i.e. fileCreatedDate.Date.

In my Local folder I have a file sample.txt.
On rightclick -> properties -> Details
I can see its modified date. For example 30.10.2018 09:00.
Can I change this property trough UWP? To 20.10.2018 09:00 for example.
Yes you can do it by the following way
string path = #"c:\sample.txt";
// Take an action that will affect the write time.
File.SetLastWriteTime(path, new DateTime(1985,4,3));

convert string to date without time

I'm converting a string to a date format using DateTime.Parse(). My original string consists of the date only but when i use DateTime.Parse() it adds the time to it as well giving me 01/12/2000 00:00:00. I only want the date 01/12/2000. Is there any other way to simply just get the date?
DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse("01/12/2000");
Console.WriteLine(dt.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy"));
DateTime always has a underlying Time fraction, it's just the way you define to show it that makes it look like that. So the tostring function can be used with the given formatting.
If you really want it not to have a time (and i wouldn't know why you'd want that) there are 3th party addons available.

Add timespan to another timespan does not work [duplicate]

I need to add years to a DateTime variable, but for some reason this function doesn't affect at all..
This is my code:
DateTime dtCmp = new DateTime(calendarBirthDay.Value.Year, calendarBirthDay.Value.Month, calendarBirthDay.Value.Day);
dtCmp.AddYears(DateTime.Now.Year - calendarBirthDay.Value.Year);
I tried even something trivial likewise :
dtCmp.AddYears(1);
and this is doesn't work yet..
You need to store it back to the variable to reflect the change.
dtCmp = dtCmp.AddYears(1);
AddYears method returns a new instance of DateTime object because DateTime is a struct. You need to store returned value into itself to increase old value:
dtCmp = dtCmp.AddYears(1)

How do I read the modify date of the file in C#?
I can read the creation date of the file by using the code below:
ModifyDate = File.GetCreationTime(FilePath)
File.GetLastWriteTime will do the job
I believe you're looking for GetLastWriteTime
