Solution 1

Use the DateTimePicker.Format[^] property...

C#

myDateTimePicker.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom;
myDateTimePicker.CustomFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy";

Have you tried uncommenting it?
And you do have to set the Format property to "Custom"

Solution 2

Use CustomFormat property and define format as per your need.

C#

public void SetMyCustomFormat()
{
   // Set the Format type and the CustomFormat string.
   dateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom;
   dateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy";
}

Refer: MSDN: DateTimePicker.CustomFormat Property [^]
