datetime - C# date formatting is losing slash separators

Question

If I do this in C#:

Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString("ddd M/dd/yy"));

I would expect output like this:

Wed 6/15/11

But it actually outputs this:

Wed 6 15 11

Why are the slashes disappearing? Is there a way to prevent this and have the date outputted in the expected format?

            Console.ReadLine();
