  <ComboBox DisplayMemberPath="{Binding Path=MyDateField, StringFormat={}{0:dd/MM/yyyy}}" Name="CmbName" Width="120" />

You can simply use the ItemStringFormat property.

Note: This works only if IsEditable is set to False

<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding YourItems}"
          DisplayMemberPath="MyDateField"
          ItemStringFormat="{}{0:dd/MM/yyyy}"
          IsEditable="False" />
