Convert datetime to string in expression builder SSIS 2019

Question

I encountered a strange problem, moving from VS2015 to 2019. I've got a variable that is setup like this;

 SUBSTRING( (DT_STR,50, 1256)DATEADD("DAY",0,GETDATE()) , 1, 10)

This works perfectly in VS2015 but now when I tried to add the same code in a project, it returns "Cannot convert 'System.String' to 'System.DateTime'."

Does anyone know anything about this?

You can use c#

DateTime.Now.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy");
