How to change Date Format?

[Shapper]

Hello,

I have this code line:
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "publication_date") %>

Which displays the date and time as follows:
02-04-2005 0:00:00

How can I change the date format to text?

Thanks,
Miguel

DataBinder.Eval accepts a 3rd parameter which is the string format.

<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "blah", "{0:dd/mm/YYYY}") %>

MM/dd/yyyy

Is it possible to get the MM/dd/yyyy format.
I need to use '/'.
