DateTimePicker also showing time

I have a Day- and Timepicker on my form that is supposed to only show me the time in this format: 

01-May-13.

I've set the custom format in the properties to: dd/mm/yyyy but the value still shows the time when I load the data in a listbox (link).

This is the code I am using to display the data from my database:

  private void loadlist() // methode om de lijsten te laden (SELECT*)
    {
        listBox1.Items.Clear();  // Maakt listBox1 leeg
        listBox2.Items.Clear();  // Maakt listBox2 leeg
        listBox3.Items.Clear(); // Maakt listBox3 leeg
        listBox4.Items.Clear(); // Maakt listBox4 leeg
        cn.Open();                  // DB connectie openen
        cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM tafel"; // Query
        dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
        if (dr.HasRows)
        {
            while (dr.Read())
            {
                listBox1.Items.Add(dr[1].ToString());  // Voegt rows uit tbl in listbox
                listBox2.Items.Add(dr[2].ToString());  // en zet ze om in string
                listBox3.Items.Add(dr[3].ToString());
                listBox4.Items.Add(dr[4].ToString());
            }
        }
        cn.Close();
    }

enter image description here

My current format is: dd/MM/yyyy (and it shows: 10-Apr-2013 17:08 in the listBox)

I'm sorry if this is an easy question.. I couldn't find out how to do it.

A couple different things to try.

string dateOnly = dateTimeVariable.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy");

or

dateTimeVariable.ToShortDateString();

Both should give you what you're looking for.

EDIT: From your code, try this now:

DateTime.Parse(dr[1]).ToShortDateString());
