If its working (as mentioned below) then you might want to accept the answer that provided you the solution. – Mark Vickery
old question but I search for parse a "dd MMM yyyy" string to date, and on stackoverflow.com/questions/5330909/… post, a solution says that have to use DateTime.ParseExact to parse any date string telling what format like to parse, then can convert as the answer on this post says with tostring("dd mm etc....") again to another string format – FabianSilva

Try this code:

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

It will format to like: 

12 Nov 2012

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"));

DateTime StartDate = Convert.ToDateTime(datepicker.Text);
string Date = StartDate.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy");

Find below code:

DateTime todayDay = DateTime.Today.ToString();

It will provide you with dd-MMM-yyyy format.
