Hi udaysama,

I think you have to change it in your windows time settings:

start -> Control panel -> region and language -> formats tab -> additional settings button ->date tab

then edit your short date format.

I hope this help,
Good Luck,
:)

I don't want to change it in my windows time settings, because we don't know which settings are being used by our end users so i want to do it from my winform itself

So it will depend on the user date format defined on his windows.

is there any way to check it through our winform??

try to do it manually like :
DateTime.Now.Day + "/" + DateTime.Now.Month + "/" + DateTime.Now.Year
