Try the below one. dateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat .Custom; dateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = yy/MM/dd ; You can set the same in the design mode also. (Using property window)

One more thing U no need to use Convert.ToString() because already u r using .ToString(yy/MM/dd). It will return string only.

Did u try this solution. It won't display time. Put that code in Form_Load event. It will display the date format as 10/06/25
