Only want Date portion of DateTime

<%= Model.STPData.InitialRateSettingDate.HasValue ? Model.STPData.InitialRateSettingDate.Value.ToString() : "" %>

This shows both the date and the timestamp. I tried using only the .Date property but it didn't work. How can I remove the time portion and display the date 开发者_开发知识库as a string only?

DateTime has a .ToShortDateString() method
