DateTime dt // your date

String.Format("{0: D}", dt);

Formats

String.Format("{0:t}", dt); // "4:05 PM" ShortTime
String.Format("{0: d}", dt); // "3/9/2008" ShortDate
String.Format("{0:T}", dt); // "4:05:07 PM" LongTime
String.Format("{0: d}", dt); // "Sunday, March 09, 2008" LongDate
String.Format("{0:f}", dt); // "Sunday, March 09, 2008 4:05 PM" LongDate+ShortTime
String.Format("{0:F}", dt); // "Sunday, March 09, 2008 4:05:07 PM" FullDateTime
String.Format("{0:g}", dt); // "3/9/2008 4:05 PM" ShortDate+ShortTime
String.Format("{0:G}", dt); // "3/9/2008 4:05:07 PM" ShortDate+LongTime
String.Format("{0:m}", dt); // "March 09" MonthDay

Solution 2

If you want to format it at the front end and not at database level then you can try:

C#

myDate.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy");

Not sure if this is true in ASP but in WinForms when you take a DateTime object and call ToShortDateString you get a culture specific format of the date that should be a format familiar to individuals of that culture.
