vb.net display date field without time

I am new to vb.net so apologies in advance if im asking a glaringly obvious one.

I have declared the following code in my pageload, it displays todays date in a label however it was displaying the date and time.

It originally said DateTime but I changed it to just Date in the hope this would work but it continued to display the time also.

I have used the left operator for now to trim it down to 10 characters however I would like to know what I should have done if id only wanted the date and not the time without having to trim the results.

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load


    Dim dtNow As Date = Date.Now
    time_stamp_entryLabel1.Text = Left(dtNow.ToString, 10)
End Sub

Here's how to do it in aspx

<asp:Label ID="DateLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# String.Format(Date.ParseExact("09/09/1955", "d", New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US"))) %>' />
