    Specify a culture. Your current culture uses – for the separators, and that’s what ToString defaults to (your current culture), unless you override it.

    You can try this:

    DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy/MM/dd", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)

    but perhaps it would be better if you specified a different culture, for instance if you want the US culture:

    DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy/MM/dd", CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-US"))

    Both of the above will give you / as a separator.
