Solution 2

I'm not exactly sure how you get your date, in case it is just a string then use DamithSL suggestion.
In case it is a DateTime structure then just use the following:

VB

Dim dateSample = DateTime.Now
Dim dateText = dateSample.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)

Solution 1

if it is string then you can simply replace the / with -

VB

input = input.Replace("/", "-")

Solution 3

Try this code:

VB

Dim Currentdate = DateTime.Now
Dim dateText = Currentdate.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)

Ref:
1) CultureInfo.InvariantCulture Property
2) What does CultureInfo.InvariantCulture mean
