There are many ways to do it . this is an example. string strdate = String.Format("{0:yyyyMMdd}", DateTime.Now); Try google, there are lots of example over there .

string date = textBox1.Text; DateTimeFormatInfo dateTimeFormatterProvider = DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.Clone() as DateTimeFormatInfo; dateTimeFormatterProvider.ShortDatePattern = "dd/MM/yyyy"; DateTime dateTime = DateTime.Parse(date, dateTimeFormatterProvider); string formatted = dateTime.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"); response.write(formatted); I hope this resolves ur problem

I will suggest you to retrieve the required String format here itself . rather than taking it some other format.
