Convert date format

myDate = today.tostring("MM/dd/yyyy")

Is your sample just convert today to a string format?

I'm not sure what kind of conversion you want to do. Is the input string in a different form, like "March 1, 2015"? Should the output be a string or a date type? Do you need to worry about alternate date formats (European dd/mm/yyyy, etc.)?

You may want to look at the Date.Parse method, depending on exactly what you want to do.

If your "date" is a string, you need to parse it first:

Dim TxtDate As String
Dim DatDate As Date
Dim MyDate As String

TxtDate = "3/12/2015"

DatDate = DateTime.Parse(TxtDate, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)

MyDate = DatDate.ToString("MM'/'dd'/'yyyy")
Console.Writeline(MyDate)

' Or in one line, should you prefer:
MyDate = DateTime.Parse(TxtDate, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).ToString("MM'/'dd'/'yyyy")
Console.Writeline(MyDate)
