Dim regDate As Date = Date.Now.date

This should fix your problem, though it's 2 years old!

If you need exact '/' delimiters, for example: 09/20/2013 rather than 09.20.2013, use escape sequence '/':

Dim regDate As Date = Date.Now()
Dim strDate As String = regDate.ToString("MM\/dd\/yyyy")

User can use this 

Dim todaysdate As String = String.Format("{0:dd/MM/yyyy}", DateTime.Now)

this will format the date as required whereas user can change the string type dd/MM/yyyy or MM/dd/yyyy or yyyy/MM/dd or even can have this format to get the time from date

yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss

You may just want:

Dim regDate As Date = Date.Today()

Try this:

Dim regDate as Date = Date.Now()
Dim strDate as String = regDate.ToString("ddMMMyyyy")

strDate will look like so: 07Feb2012
