How to set the default date format yyyy/mm/dd in the whole VB.NET app?

I used these two ways but without success

VB

Protected Sub Application_BeginRequest(ByVal sender As [Object], ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim newCulture As CultureInfo = DirectCast(System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.Clone(), CultureInfo)
newCulture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern = "yyyy/MM/dd"
newCulture.DateTimeFormat.DateSeparator = "/"
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = newCulture
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = New CultureInfo("en-US")

you can write an extension method for the datetime and use it where necessary as in the following:

C#

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace Test_DatetimeFormat
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Today.ToMyFormat());
        }

    }

    static class Utils
    {
        public static string ToMyFormat(this DateTime dt)
        {
            return dt.ToString("yyyy/MM/dd");
        }
    }
}
