Assuming 01-05-2012 is a string, first convert it to a DateTime:

C#

DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact("01-05-2012", "dd-MM-yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Then you can format the DatetIme as you wish:

C#

string s = dt.ToString("ddd,d MMM,yyyy");

There is a full list of the formatting strings here: Formatting a DateTime for display - format string description[^]

Solution 2

Do this:

C#

DateTime dt = Datetime.Now;

string date = String.Format("{0:ddd, d MMM, yyyy}", dt); 

//or

string s = dt.ToString("ddd, d MMM, yyyy");
