Format date(mm,dd,yyy) that is being pulled from database that is populated into a textbox

I have an Asp web form (language is VB) that is used to update reco开发者_StackOverflow中文版rds in a SQL database. The form is populated with the record with many textboxes as well as dropdownlists. I have a textbox that is populated with a date from the record and is displayed with the date and the time. I would like change the format to only display the date as "mm-dd-yyy". In the code behind the date field is called from the database and put into the textbox via: "MyDate.Text = dt.Rows(0)("MyDate").ToString()". Thanks in advance for any help that is offered.

MyDate.Text = dt.Rows(0)("MyDate").ToString("MM-dd-yy");
