有时您希望截断为基于日历的内容，如年或月。这里有一个扩展方法，可以让你选择任何分辨率。

public enum DateTimeResolution
{
    Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, Second, Millisecond, Tick
}

public static DateTime Truncate(this DateTime self, DateTimeResolution resolution = DateTimeResolution.Second)
{
    switch (resolution)
    {
        case DateTimeResolution.Year:
            return new DateTime(self.Year, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, self.Kind);
        case DateTimeResolution.Month:
            return new DateTime(self.Year, self.Month, 1, 0, 0, 0, self.Kind);
        case DateTimeResolution.Day:
            return new DateTime(self.Year, self.Month, self.Day, 0, 0, 0, self.Kind);
        case DateTimeResolution.Hour:
            return self.AddTicks(-(self.Ticks % TimeSpan.TicksPerHour));
        case DateTimeResolution.Minute:
            return self.AddTicks(-(self.Ticks % TimeSpan.TicksPerMinute));
        case DateTimeResolution.Second:
            return self.AddTicks(-(self.Ticks % TimeSpan.TicksPerSecond));
        case DateTimeResolution.Millisecond:
            return self.AddTicks(-(self.Ticks % TimeSpan.TicksPerMillisecond));
        case DateTimeResolution.Tick:
            return self.AddTicks(0);
        default:
            throw new ArgumentException("unrecognized resolution", "resolution");
    }
}

不那么明显，但快了2倍多:

// 10000000 runs

DateTime d = DateTime.Now;

// 484,375ms
d = new DateTime((d.Ticks / TimeSpan.TicksPerSecond) * TimeSpan.TicksPerSecond);

// 1296,875ms
d = d.AddMilliseconds(-d.Millisecond);

一种简单的阅读方法是……

//Remove milliseconds
DateTime date = DateTime.Now;
date = DateTime.ParseExact(date.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"), "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss", null);

和更多的……

//Remove seconds
DateTime date = DateTime.Now;
date = DateTime.ParseExact(date.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm"), "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm", null);

//Remove minutes
DateTime date = DateTime.Now;
date = DateTime.ParseExact(date.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH"), "yyyy-MM-dd HH", null);

//and go on...

我知道这很容易理解，但是它缺乏性能。

这是我的版本的扩展方法张贴在这里和类似的问题。这将以一种易于读取的方式验证tick值，并保留原始DateTime实例的DateTimeKind。(当存储到像MongoDB这样的数据库时，这有微妙但相关的副作用。)

如果真正的目标是将DateTime截断为指定的值(即小时/分钟/秒/MS)，我建议在您的代码中实现此扩展方法。它确保你只能截断到一个有效的精度，它保留了重要的DateTimeKind元数据的原始实例:

public static DateTime Truncate(this DateTime dateTime, long ticks)
{
    bool isValid = ticks == TimeSpan.TicksPerDay 
        || ticks == TimeSpan.TicksPerHour 
        || ticks == TimeSpan.TicksPerMinute 
        || ticks == TimeSpan.TicksPerSecond 
        || ticks == TimeSpan.TicksPerMillisecond;

    // https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21704604/have-datetime-now-return-to-the-nearest-second
    return isValid 
        ? DateTime.SpecifyKind(
            new DateTime(
                dateTime.Ticks - (dateTime.Ticks % ticks)
            ),
            dateTime.Kind
        )
        : throw new ArgumentException("Invalid ticks value given. Only TimeSpan tick values are allowed.");
}

然后你可以使用这样的方法:

DateTime dateTime = DateTime.UtcNow.Truncate(TimeSpan.TicksPerMillisecond);

dateTime.Kind => DateTimeKind.Utc

DateTime d = DateTime.Now;
d = d.AddMilliseconds(-d.Millisecond);

与其放弃毫秒然后比较，为什么不比较差异呢?

DateTime x; DateTime y;
bool areEqual = (x-y).TotalSeconds == 0;

or

TimeSpan precision = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1);
bool areEqual = (x-y).Duration() < precision;
