C# String function

I am converting a datetime to just a date, that is also in a different order. I have been away from programming for a bit and I have it working properly easily enough using substring, but was wondering if there was maybe an easier way of doing it.

Format coming in - 2011-11-01 00:00:00
Format needed - 11/01/2011

Thanks
Lance

Thanks. Thought it would be pretty easy to manipulate.
