try :

C#

DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
           string date= String.Format("{0:D}", dt);

this will display the date as :Monday, December 12, 2011

Have a look at Custom Date and Time Format Strings[^] to format your date field into the appropriate format.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/az4se3k1.aspx[^] provides more information.

You can go through DateTime Formatting[^] as well.
