Datetime format in C#

Question

I have a DateTime saved in dtmNextPayment. I want that to showed in the label in mm/dd/yyyy way. I have tried using

lbltakeeffectdate.Text = dtmNextPayment.ToString("mm/dd/yyyy");

But month is always shown as 00. I have no idea why? Please let me know what should be the problem..

And also, please tell me what is the best solution.. Thank you so much!!

Month is "MM". "mm" is minutes.

Full list of available custom datetime formats (along with examples) is here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kb3ddd4.aspx

You need to use MM. Capital M is month, little m is minutes
