Two examples, you can use both a CultureInfo and a DateTimeFormatInfo based on a predefined culture to format the date string, the DateTimeFormatInfo can also be used to customize a dateformat.

Dim dt As Date = Date.Now
Dim glob As New Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US", False)
Dim DTFI As Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo = glob.DateTimeFormat
MsgBox(dt.ToString("d", glob))
MsgBox(dt.ToString("d", DTFI))

If you want to change the culture of your application altogether, then here is an example:

Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = New [SIZE=2]Globalization[/SIZE].CultureInfo("en-US")
MsgBox(dt.[SIZE=2]ToShortDateString[/SIZE])
