I strongly recommend you use an ISO 8601-compliant date format -- YYYY-MM-DD

And your question isn't clear, please use Improve question to add detail.

I'm confused. You have the code to show it in the format you want. Where are you stuck?

You can write

C#

CONVERT(varchar(20),date_trans,106)

in your select query. then you will get the date in the format "dd MMM yyyy"

Your question is a bit confusing; but do you mean the following:

C#

txtRunDate.Text = date_trans.Date.ToString("dd MMM yyyy");
