DateTimePicker - Format Value

My system short date format is dd/mm/yy.

The DateTimePicker returns mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss PM.

I need to get this value formated into dd/mm/yyyy regardless of the system
short date format, what do I need to use please.

Regards

The DateTimePicker control's 'Value' property returns a 'Date' instance,
which you can format by calling its 'ToString' method and passing
appropriate formatting options to this method.

"dd/MM/yyyy"

I have a DateTimePicker control on my form that is displaying the date format in UK format (dd/mm/yy). However, in my code dtpStartDate.Value gives a date in US format, but dtpStartDate.Value.ToString() gives the date in the required UK format! Any ideas? All system locale settings are set to British/UK settings.

I'm trying to make a datagridview column to act like a datetimepicker column (C#.Net 2005). These are the behaviours that the dgv should have: 1) Initially all the cells of the dtp column should be blank unless they are filled by the user. 2) As soon as the user enters a cell, the dtp control should appear as the editing control of that cell. If there's a value in the cell beforehand, that value is set as the value of the dtp editing control...
