DateTimePicker custom formatting not displaying - vb.net

This is a WinForms, VB.NET app, using VS 2010 Pro. I added a datetimepicker to a form. Set the custom property to MM/dd/yyy. the relevant part of my function is as below:
If IsDate(_uni.unitRentDate) Then
t_TenantUnitRentDate.Value = _uni.unitRentDate
Else
If Not _uni.unitRentDate.HasValue Then
t_TenantUnitRentDate.Value = New DateTime(2010, 1, 1)
End If
End If
_uni is a table in the EF and unitRentDate is stored in that table as DATETIME. The datetimepicker is t_TenantUnitRentDate.
The problem I am having is that when the form loads the dateTimePicker is showing the date in the format of this example Saturday , September 10, 2012 . This is not what I am wanting it to do at all.. It should be showing as 9/10/2012 . Why is this failing I looked at the date being returned from the database and it is showing a correct date value at that time.

Try it again by setting Format property to 'Custom'

Probably the custom format MM/dd/yyy is invalid. The year must have either two or four digits.
MM/dd/yy
or
MM/dd/yyyy

How to pass date value from gridview to datetimepicker

Currently I am working with Data Gridview and Datetime picker in VB.Net
And dont know how to pass the value from gridview to date time picker. please help
Below is Date Colume of gridview
This error occured after debug
I tried some code...
Student_Admission.DateTimePicker2.Value = CDate(DataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells(1).Value)
in the first code you are converting to date then ToString. The value of DTP obviously cant hold that. To adjust the format you need to add a .Format property
The second code you supplied should work assuming there is a value that can be a date in cell(1) of the current row
Edit. ok, so you're not actually calling .ToString("mm/dd//yyyy") you are actually expecting the value to format as such? that's not going to work either.

How to Display only the Datepart using Expression in SSRS?

I need to display only the Datepart(6/26/2000) in the report by neglecting Time in the Report in SSRS. already i'm fetching the that datetime from the Dataset output column Startdate
Expression Used:
=First(Fields!start_dte_display.Value, "Salesvalue")
SalesValue==>Dataset name
Output i'm getting from above Expression :
6/26/2000 12:00:00 AM
My expected Output:
6/26/2000
Kindly Help me with the output!!
Try FORMAT:
=Format(First(Fields!start_dte_display.Value, "Salesvalue"), "MM/dd/yyyy")
Note: MM has to be in upper-case, mm will get you minutes!
You can use Text-box properties to set the date format as you want to show on the report. Just you need to right click on the text-box and choose Text Box Properties. In the Text Box Properties window you can choose Number > Date and date sample as 1/31/2000 and click on the Ok button.
Another simple way to set the Text Box Format = M/d/yyyy in properties window.

How to remove time section from date time picker?

I am currently using Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows desktop with an SQL back-end. I am trying to run an SQL query that will have the date time in format "yyyy-mm-dd." My problem is I need to see all entries from that date. Currently my date time picker keeps giving me a time with my selection. I need to remove the time portion. I tried a couple of solutions from the web but when I try and display the date time picker in a message box to see what the value is it says false. I am not sure how to change the output value in the custom field to remove this. Here is my code.
This is in on my load event:
'date time picker set up
DTPPromiseDate.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom
DTPPromiseDate.CustomFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"
Then in a button click event, is a message box to display what was selected in the date time picker. I want to get my message box working correctly before I try and run SQL queries with it.
MsgBox(DTPPromiseDate.Value)
-------------------------UPDATE-----------------
This code appeared as I wanted it to but I am still trying to work it into my query.
DTPPromiseDate.Value.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")
Apply the formatting string that you used in the picker's custom format to the message box text as well.

Trying to fill textbox value with today's date only on visual basics

I am trying to fill a textbox value with the current date and I do not want the user to be able to change the date. I want to use a textbox and not a datepicker. I would like the form to load with today's date already loaded in the textbox, which I will then use in my insert query.
I want the date format of yyyy-MM-dd to be in the textbox memberregisterationdate.text. I am not sure where on my form I should put the code either.
Really stuck on this and I can't seem to find it anywhere
Thanks in advance
You have to make it Enabled = False to disable it. You can load it in Form_Load:
memberregisterationdate.Text = Date.Today.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")

How to change the format of the date Calendar Control vs2010 vb.net

I am trying to store DoteOfBirth from a Calender control in visual studio 2010.
Dim dob As Date = Calendar1.SelectedDate.Date.ToShortDateString()
I wanna save like dd/MM/yyyy without anything else but when i save it it shows like

I don't know where to change the format and I don't know how to remove the thing attached to the date. I am writing it in vb.net and saving to xml file.
Thanks so much.
If you're using a DateTimePicker control, you should use the Format or CustomFormat properties.
If you're using the MonthCalendar control ... well, you may consider using the DateTimePicker instead, as per this excerpt from MSDN:
If you need custom date formatting and a selection limited to just one date, you might consider using a DateTimePicker control instead of a MonthCalendar. Using the DateTimePicker eliminates much of the need for validating date/time values.
