You can change the default for the culture:

using System; 
using System.Globalization; 
using System.Threading;  
namespace test 
{     
  public static class Program 
  {         
    public static void Main() 
    {             
      CultureInfo culture = (CultureInfo)CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Clone();
      culture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern = "dd-MMM-yyyy"; 
      culture.DateTimeFormat.LongTimePattern = "";  
      Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = culture;
      Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now);
    }
  } 
}

Solution 1

The format cannot be specified on the DataColumn.
It can be given to the UI control or the Report field where it is used.
For example if the Windows Forms DataGridView is used for displaying the data then the following code can be used to set the format of the Column to which the dob column of DataTable is bound.

dataGridView1.Columns["dob"].DefaultCellStyle.Format = "dd-MMM-yyyy";
