formatting - VB.net: Date without time

Question

How do you format the date time to just date?

For example, this is what I retrieved from the database: 12/31/2008 12:00:00 AM, but I just want to show the date and no time.

Answer 1

Either use one of the standard date and time format strings which only specifies the date (e.g. "D" or "d"), or a custom date and time format string which only uses the date parts (e.g. "yyyy/MM/dd").
