Answer 1

Try FORMAT:

=Format(First(Fields!start_dte_display.Value, "Salesvalue"), "MM/dd/yyyy")

Note: MM has to be in upper-case, mm will get you minutes!

Answer 2

You can use Text-box properties to set the date format as you want to show on the report. Just you need to right click on the text-box and choose Text Box Properties. In the Text Box Properties window you can choose Number > Date and date sample as 1/31/2000 and click on the Ok button.

Another simple way to set the Text Box Format = M/d/yyyy in properties window.
