If you have the value in a DateTime object (or in a column in a DataSet cast as a DateTime), you can use the DateTime's ToString overload to specify the format, such as:

string s = dateVal.ToString("dd/MM/YYYY");

 

I think I saw another thread here where someone did something simpler (such as changing a DB option or using the built-in localization objects - or is it globalization, one for UI one for code -can't rememember).
