Convert Date to "dd-MMM-yyyy" format c#

Question

Guys i am unable to convert datetime to "dd-MMM-yyyy" format. My code is given below:

TreeNode tn = new TreeNode(dr["pBillDate"].ToString());       // Here i am getting both date and time.

I need to convert it as "20-Mar-2013".

Please help me. Thanks.

Answer 1

Try this code:

string formattedDate = YourDate.ToString("dd MMM yyyy");

It will format to like:

12 Nov 2012

Answer 2

The following couple examples should work:

DateTime dt = Convert.ToDateTime(dr["pBillDate"]);

TreeNode tn = new TreeNode(String.Format("{0:dd-MMM-yyyy}", dt));

or

DateTime dt = Convert.ToDateTime(dr["pBillDate"]);

TreeNode tn = new TreeNode(dt.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy"));
