System.DateTime.Date, or why a code review is definitely a good thing

on May 3, 2009 c-sharp edit

So today a new dev has joined the team. Not too soon after he got his hands on one of our solutions I got an IM from him with the following snippet:

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

My code. My blame.

It apparently skipped the DateTime.Date property of System.DateTime. After over 5 years in C# world.
