Well one option is just:

string text = date.Day.ToString();

Or if you still want to use date/time formatting you could use:

string text = string.Format("{0:%d}", date);

Note that here the % is required to specify that you want the d to be a single character custom format string rather than just a standard format string (where d means "short date string").

If you want the rest of your date format, but only want to change how the day of month is represented, you can just change the dd to d:

string text = string.Format("{0:d/MM/yyyy}", date);
