Scripting Functoid for Date Formatting in Maps Biztalk 2010

Question

In the Source Schema I have the Date in xs: date Time Datatype in the Destination Schema I have date in String datatype. When I map directly I get the output as "2013-10-21T00:00:00". But I want it "2013-10-21" in output.
I tried using the scripting but nothing worked like,
public String ConvertEndDate(string param1)
return DateTime.Parse(param1).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");
public string convertHireDate(string Date1)
return DateTime.ParseExact(Date1, "YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss", null).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");
Can anybody help me to deal with this. Thanks in advance.

Thanks AshwinPrabhu.But I have the Source Schema date in "2013-10-21T00:00:00" format in Destination I need as "2013-10-21".
I did the reverse like
public static string convertHireDate(string sdatetime)
return System.DateTime.ParseExact(sdatetime, "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ", null).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");
But getting Error like,
Exception type: XTransformationFailureException

Target Site: Void ApplyStreamingTransform(System.Type, Microsoft.XLANGs.RuntimeTypes.TransformMetaData, System.Object[], System.IO.Stream[], Boolean)
