Formatting a datetime var for simple display

I have a datetime object named day1 that I want to display as just
3/29/2006 :

Response.Write(day1);

...but this will display the long default 3/29/2005 12:00 AM .
Using Response.Write(day1.ToShortDate()); is illegal syntax, not sure
how to format this while using Response.Write

Look at DateTime.ToString(<format>).

If day1 is a System.DateTime object the method ToShortDate() is not
defined. Try ToShortDateString() instead:

DateTime date = DateTime.Now;
Response.Write(date.ToShortDateString());
