Hi Here is an example for displaying date in any format:

DateTime DtmDate = DateTime.Now;

System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo dfi = new System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo();

dfi.ShortDatePattern = "dd-MMM-yyyy";
LabelDate.Text = DtmDate.ToString("d", dfi);

Note the difference : In ShortDatePattern, you can give any format. "mm" gives month in number and "MMM" gives month as short form of month (ie. three characters) :)

Rate this message. Thank you. Harini :)

You can also get today's date by Now.ToString("dd-MMM-yy")
