var formatedDate = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd",System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

To ensure the user's local settings don't affect it

Might be worthwhile using the CultureInfo to apply DateTime formatting throughout the website. Insteado f running around formatting whever you have to. 

CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture.DateTimeFormat.SetAllDateTimePatterns( ...

or 

CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern = "yyyy-MM-dd";

Code should go somewhere in your Global.asax file

protected void Application_Start(){ ...

try ToString method for your desirer format use

DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");


OR you can use it with your variable of DateTime type

dt.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");


where dt is a DateTime variable

The ToString method on the DateTime struct can take a format parameter:

var dateAsString = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");
// dateAsString = "2011-02-17"

Documentation for standard and custom format strings is available on MSDN.

Which WebControl are you using? Did you try?

DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");
