Solution 1

you can code as

@DateTime.Now.ToString("dd MMM yyyy")

or

C#

@Convert.ToDateTime("01-09-2014").ToString("dd MMM yyyy")

I am showing data using foreach loop on the cshtml page like this:
<tr>
<td>Last Update
@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => Convert.ToDateTime(item.lastUpdate).ToString("dd MMM yyyy"))
</td>
</tr>

But getting the following error while using this code:
Templates can be used only with field access, property access, single-dimension array index, or single-
parameter custom indexer expressions.

Please suggest some solution.

Solution 2

item.lastUpdate.ToString("dd MMM yyyy")

How about below line

@Html.DisplayFor(m=>m.lastUpdate).ToString("dd MMM yyyy"))

now I am getting this error message:
No overload for method 'ToString' takes 1 arguments

Ranjeet Patel 1-Sep-14 8:53am

item.lastUpdate.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy") and check if this is correct

Ranjeet Patel 1-Sep-14 8:48am

did you try upper row?

No overload for method 'ToString' takes 1 arguments

<tr>
<td>Last Update
@item.lastUpdate.ToString("dd MMMM yyyy")

Ranjeet Patel 1-Sep-14 8:59am

@item.lastUpdate.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy") try this line once
I know the formate would be different but at least try this, then you can think on the date format

solution is:
@Convert.ToDateTime(item.lastUpdate).ToString("dd MMM yyyy")
