DateTime doesn t have a format   the format only applies when you re turning a DateTime into a string  which happens implicitly you show the value on a form  web page  etc   Look at where you re displaying the DateTime and set the format there  or amend your question if you need additional guidance

If value is a string in that format and you d like to convert it into a DateTime object  you can use DateTime ParseExact static method   DateTime ParseExact value  format  CultureInfo CurrentCulture     Example   string value    12 12   var myDate   DateTime ParseExact value   MM yy   System Globalization CultureInfo InvariantCulture  System Globalization DateTimeStyles None    Console WriteLine myDate ToShortDateString       Result   2012-12-01

You should probably use either DateTime ParseExact or DateTime TryParseExact instead  They allow you to specify specific formats  I personally prefer the Try-versions since I think they produce nicer code for the error cases
