This would not work. The reason I need to know this information is so that I
know whether to include the date, time, or both when submitting the data to
a database. The reason your suggestion will not work is because a Date
object ALWAYS has a date and time, even if the date is the default date or
the time is 0:00 or 12:00 or whatever. Therefore, looking at these parts of
the Date will tell me nothing about whether a date, time, or both were
included in the original String.

When determining whether a String can be converted to a DateTime, you
can use the IsDate() method. However, I would also like to know
whether the string is a date, a time, or both a date and a time. Is
there any simple way to do this without using manual pattern matching?
Thanks.

Perhaps you can use the Convert.ToDate() function? Once you convert it to
a
date, you can check the .Date and .Time properties to determine the
original values?
