formating a date to dd/mm/yyyy format

[steve_rm]

Hello,

I am using a DateTime variable. But l want to change the format of the shortDateString from mm/dd/yyyy to the new format of dd/mm/yyyy.

I used the code below using, using System.Globalization. However, it won't change to this new format of dd/mm/yyyy

DateTime today = Convert.ToDateTime(DateTime.Today.ToShortDateString());
DateTimeFormatInfo dateFormat = new DateTimeFormatInfo();
dateFormat.ShortDatePattern = "dd/mm/yyyy";
today.ToString(dateFormat);

Can anyone help with this.

Many thanks in advance,

Steve
