this value?

It will be helpful if some one could point me to some code sample for the
same

Hi

Construct new Datetime values from value in database
DateTime dt = new DateTime(databasevalue)
then use dt.Date.

if you want string, you can use:

DateTime aDateTime = getDateTimeFromDB(some criteria);
string str = aDateTime.Value.ToShortDateString();

DateTime theDate .....
theDate.ToString("m/d/yyyy");

if it is the string representation that you want.
