Use a combination of DateTime.TryParse and DateTime.ToString to convert dates\strings. Google both for code samples and implementations. Note that DateTime variables and dates in databases don't have a "format" though, so if changing that is your ultimate goal then it can't be done, instead you need to properly understand how dates are managed.

Parse the string into a DateTime the format as needed. Where is the problem?

Try this

var n = DateTime.Parse("10-july-2017");
           string m = n.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");
           MessageBox.Show(m);

C#

string shortDate = "ERROR!";
string longDate = "17-July-2017";
DateTime date;
if (DateTime.TryParse(longDate, out date))
    shortDate = date.ToShortDateString();

Console.WriteLine($"Long: {longDate} > Short: {shortDate}");

Solution 3

Use DateTime.TryParseExact to convert it to a DateTime value, then use ToString to output the new format:

C#

string input = "17-July-2017";
DateTime dt;
if (!DateTime.TryParseExact(input, "dd-MMMM-yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, DateTimeStyles.None, out dt))
    {
    // Report problem
    ....
    return;
    }
Console.WriteLine(dt.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy"));
