When creating a product object that has a DateTime field that field filled it with a DateTime.Now that data is saved in a txt as 03/09/2018 08:42:18 p.m and trying to get the data again with a DateTime.Parse(corte[2]) I get that no se puede reconocer la cadena como un comando date time valido also probre with

string format = "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt";
DateTime.ParseExact(corte[2], format, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)

Thanks to a user I started to search if corte[2] was taking the value well and I was not taking it well, since I use it to cut a line with split(':') had not realized that I was separating the time and it took a bad date, since I used it to separate fields like name, code.

My second doubt is that in DateTime.Now I do not keep the time if not just the date.

If you want to take only the date of a DateTime variable you can call its property "Date".

Something like that

var date = DateTime.Now.Date;

Perform the following test

public static void Main()
{
    string fechaString = "03/09/2018 08:42:18 pm";
    DateTime fecha = DateTime.Parse(fechaString);

    Console.WriteLine("fecha: {0}", fecha);
}

As you will see this if you can convert, just remove the point at "p.m"

Very good, as you have been told you can use DateTime.Now.Date but if you notice this it returns the date correctly and the time 0:00:00 . If you want to print the date without the time you can use the following:

var dateTime = DateTime.Now.Date;
MessageBox.Show(dateTime.ToShortDateString());

If you want to save only the date in a DataTime object you should use DateTime.Now.Date but remember that when you print the date you should use the ToShortDateString() function so that the time does not appear as 0:00 : 00

I hope it serves you.
