changing date formats

Hello. I am using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SQL Server 2005). When I select a date column from a table, the date is displayed in "mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss" format. Is there a way i can change this date format so that it shows "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss" permanently? Thanks.If u're using VB then it can be done.
say its a DateTimePicker so...
Format(dtp.Value, "d/M/yyyy")
|||If you want to do it in SQL Server check out the CONVERT function.
It takes three parameters (for dates)
eg. SELECT CONVERT(varchar, GetDate(), 121)
Check out BOL for possible values and a description of the last parameter, this defines the format.
