How to get dd-MM-yyyy date format in DatePicker control?

I can set dd-MMM-yyy date format in DatePicker, but I can't set dd-MM-yyyy.

This is my code:

        private void ToDay_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            this.ToDay.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy");
        }

        private void ToDay_SelectedDateChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            this.ToDay.Text = this.ToDay.SelectedDate.Value.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy");
            DrawReservation();
        }

Please help me.
