How to display date only in vb.net

Question

I need to display date only in vb.net. These are the steps I went through.

1. added date to sql database. (sql database shows 2013-12-13)
2. created a table to view it. (shows 12/13/2013 12:00:00 AM)

the methods i've used are:

<%=Formatdatetime(f_purchasedate,2)%>
<%=FormatDateTime(f_purchasedate, "Short Date")%>
<%Response.Write(FormatDateTime(f_purchasedate, 2))%>

Please help. Thanks

EDIT: Was looking at the wrong place. this <%=Formatdatetime(f_purchasedate,2)%> works. Thanks for the help guys
