calendar control format date.

vb.net controls:

i need to format a date to look like dd/mm/yyyy when i click on the
calendarcontrol.selectionChanged() argument. this is my code:

Sub calDateUpdated_SelectionChanged(ByVal Sender As System.Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles calDateUpdated.SelectionChanged
'Populate the lblDateUpdated Control in the form with the
desired date.
lblDateUpdated.Text = calDateUpdated.SelectedDate
End Sub

basically, when i select a date, a label control is set to it's date.
but i want it to read in this format, for example, for the date of
january 1st, 2005:

01/01/2005

but right now, it reads it like this:

1/1/2005

It's important to get the 0's in there. please help. thanks.

brian

lblDateUpdated.Text = calDateUpdated.SelectedDate.ToString("dd\/MM\/yyyy")
Check out DateTimeFormatInfo for more info on formating strings
