today() function returns date with time when project converted to .net

Question

My application behaves differently when I work on Windows Server 2008 R2.

When I converted my PowerScript to .net project, today() 's functions returns the value as date along with time (date+time) instead of only date.

ldt_date = today()

any suggestions?

Are you saying you converted to PowerBuilder.NET or to some other .NET language? — Terry, Jun 25 '12 at 13:48

That is normal .NET behavior.

        DateTime dt = DateTime.Today;
        Console.WriteLine(dt.ToString);  //output 6/23/2012 12:00:00 AM

if you want date only (6/23/2012) try:

        DateTime dt = DateTime.Today;
        Console.WriteLine(dt.ToShortDateString());  //output 6/23/2012

In .NET you can get the only date part of DateTime variable using DateTime.Date Property

It's like

 yourdate.ToString("d")

Example

DateTime date1 = new DateTime(2008, 6, 1, 7, 47, 0);
Console.WriteLine(date1.ToString());

// Get date-only portion of date, without its time.
DateTime dateOnly = date1.Date;
// Display date using short date string.
Console.WriteLine(dateOnly.ToString("d"));
