Without opening an IDE to check my brain works properly for syntax at this time of day...

If you simply want the date in a particular format you can use DateTime's .ToString(string format). There are a number of examples of standard and custom formatting strings if you follow that link.

So

DateTime _date = DateTime.Now;
var _dateString = _date.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");

would give you the date as a string in the format you request.
