Here you find some examples what you can do with the DateTime, DateTime Examples[^].

I guess the way you need to go is first using DateTime.Parse to get a proper Datetime Object and the format it into your desired result.

It's c# and not vb.net but it should be straight-forward to read and convert.

C#

string ds = "25.05.2016";
DateTime dt;
            
if (DateTime.TryParseExact(ds, "dd.MM.yyyy", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.None, out dt))
{
    ds = dt.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy");
}

Note, however, that dates don't have a format so there is no such thing as a DateTime class with a certain format, dates only have a format when you convert them to a string.
