Split Date and Time from system::DateTime

Question

Is there any way to split the date and time from the System::DateTime?

Now you get something like: 2012-03-01 16:12:555

Is there any to separate them?

Be sure to use the MSDN Library effectively, you won't get far without being able to look up the members of a class. When you do, you'll have no trouble finding the Date property to get the date and the TimeOfDay property to get the time. — Hans Passant, Mar 10 '12 at 15:26

If you have a DateTime and you want to split it into date and time, you can use the properties Date and TimeOfDay:

DateTime now = DateTime::Now;
DateTime date = now.Date;
TimeSpan time = now.TimeOfDay;

But if you only want to get the string representation of the date and time, you don't need those properties. You can use ToString() along with format strings:

String^ dateString = now.ToString("d");
String^ timeString = now.ToString("T");

One things you should remember about formatting in .Net is that it depends on the current culture. That means the result of calling ToString() will be formatted differently on a computer with Czech culture than on a computer with American culture.

@Ahmad I don't see how is that relevant to this question, but you probably [don't have C++/CLI enabled](http://stackoverflow.com/a/4969389/41071). Next time, when you have a question, [post a new question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask), that's what this site is for. – svick Nov 19 '13 at 15:23

Simply create DateTime object like

Datetime test = DateTime::Now;

Then format it like this

String^ timestamp = test.ToString ("yyyy-MM-dd H:m:s");

This format is compatible with MySQL.

String^ timestamp = test->ToString ("yyyy-MM-dd H:m:s"); -> should be used. – Irshad Babar Dec 21 '20 at 19:27

Well for date you can use Today
For the time you can use TimeOfDay
