Answer 1

You can do this in xml itself. Here...

<DatePicker 
SelectedDate="{Binding Date, Mode=TwoWay}" 
Text="{Binding ., StringFormat='dd/MM/yyyy'}"/>

Answer 2

why to complicate? You can use compiled data binding

{x:Bind ViewModel.PropertyWithDateTime.ToString("....")}

Answer 3

There is an excellent example here:

Example from MSDN

if your converter class is in a different namespace (as suggested to be in a separate folder) you can add

xmlns:conv="using:MyNamespace.Converters"

and use it like this:

<UserControl.Resources>
  <conv:DateToStringConverter x:Key="Converter1"/>
</UserControl.Resources>

the rest should stay the same as in the example from the link.
