将DateTime对象修整到特定精度的最佳方法是什么？例如，如果我有一个DateTime，其值为'2008-09-29 09:41:43'，但我只希望精确到分钟，那么有没有比这更好的方法了？

private static DateTime TrimDateToMinute(DateTime date)
{
    return new DateTime(
        date.Year, 
        date.Month, 
        date.Day, 
        date.Hour, 
        date.Minute, 
        0);
}

我真正想要的是使其可变，以便可以将其精度设置为秒，分钟，小时或者天。

解决方案

我们可以使用枚举

public enum DateTimePrecision
{
  Hour, Minute, Second
}

public static DateTime TrimDate(DateTime date, DateTimePrecision precision)
{
  switch (precision)
  {
    case DateTimePrecision.Hour:
      return new DateTime(date.Year, date.Month, date.Day, date.Hour, 0, 0);
    case DateTimePrecision.Minute:
      return new DateTime(date.Year, date.Month, date.Day, date.Hour, date.Minute, 0);
    case DateTimePrecision.Second:
      return new DateTime(date.Year, date.Month, date.Day, date.Hour, date.Minute, date.Second);
    default:
      break;
  }
}

并根据需要扩展。

static DateTime TrimDate(DateTime date, long roundTicks)
    {
        return new DateTime(date.Ticks - date.Ticks % roundTicks);
    }

    //sample usage:
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now);
        Console.WriteLine(TrimDate(DateTime.Now, TimeSpan.TicksPerDay));
        Console.WriteLine(TrimDate(DateTime.Now, TimeSpan.TicksPerHour));
        Console.WriteLine(TrimDate(DateTime.Now, TimeSpan.TicksPerMillisecond));
        Console.WriteLine(TrimDate(DateTime.Now, TimeSpan.TicksPerMinute));
        Console.WriteLine(TrimDate(DateTime.Now, TimeSpan.TicksPerSecond));
        Console.ReadLine();
    }

static class Program
{
    //using extension method:
    static DateTime Trim(this DateTime date, long roundTicks)
    {
        return new DateTime(date.Ticks - date.Ticks % roundTicks, date.Kind);
    }

    //sample usage:
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now);
        Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.Trim(TimeSpan.TicksPerDay));
        Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.Trim(TimeSpan.TicksPerHour));
        Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.Trim(TimeSpan.TicksPerMillisecond));
        Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.Trim(TimeSpan.TicksPerMinute));
        Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.Trim(TimeSpan.TicksPerSecond));
        Console.ReadLine();
    }

}
