C#: Retrieve the current date

C# Sharp DateTime: Exercise-8 with Solution

Write a C# Sharp program to retrieve the current date.

Sample Solution:-

C# Sharp Code:

using System;

public class Example8
{
    // Main method, entry point of the program
    public static void Main()
    {
        // Get the current date without a time component
        DateTime thisDay = DateTime.Today;

        // Display the date in the general format using ToString() method
        Console.WriteLine("General format " + thisDay.ToString());

        // Display the date in different specific formats using ToString() method
        Console.WriteLine("Display the date in a variety of formats: ");
        Console.WriteLine(thisDay.ToString("d")); // Short date format
        Console.WriteLine(thisDay.ToString("D")); // Long date format
        Console.WriteLine(thisDay.ToString("g")); // General date and time format
    }
}

Sample Output:

General format 6/10/2017 12:00:00 AM                                                                          
Display the date in a variety of formats:
