Little Gems: ToShortDate Extension Method

I’m really surprised that the DateTime struct doesn’t have a way to compare if two dates are equal, disregarding the time.  To help that, I’ve created an extension method:

public static class DateTimeExtensions
{
	public static DateTime ToShortDate(this DateTime dateTime)
	{
		return new DateTime(dateTime.Year, dateTime.Month, dateTime.Day);
	}
}

With this you can compare dates without worrying about the time they were posted, which is useful when you want to group items into blocks of days.

Have a better way? Share it in the comments.

Update:  That didn’t take long. In the comments, Andy West points out that Stack Overflow has a question on this very subject: How do I compare dates in C#? Time for me to do some reverting.
