    DateTimePicker - Format Value

    My system short date format is dd/mm/yy.

    The DateTimePicker returns mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss PM.

    I need to get this value formated into dd/mm/yyyy regardless of the system
    short date format, what do I need to use please.

    Regards
    Terry

      The DateTimePicker control's 'Value' property returns a 'Date' instance,
      which you can format by calling its 'ToString' method and passing
      appropriate formatting options to this method.

          "dd/MM/yyyy"
