From MSDN

The value of the current DateTime object is formatted using the pattern defined by the DateTimeFormatInfo.ShortDatePattern property associated with the current thread culture.

Have you tried changing the culture for the current thread? This can be set on a per page basis as well - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bz9tc508%28v=vs.85%29.aspx.
