A DateTime
doesn't have a format - it only gets a format when it's displayed. If you don't specify a format (like when viewing in the debugger), a default one will be chosen depending on the control type and current culture.
So the right answer depends on how you're displaying the date. If you're using ToString
:
Date.Value.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")
If you're using some sort of control read the docs on how to specify value formats.
