First create a datetime object from this available string you have and then the to string has an overloaded version which takes the format to convert to, you can use

C#

DateTime.Now.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy");

I am unable to convert this

string sDate = "Wed Nov 10 14:13:10 IST 2010";
DateTime dDate = Convert.ToDateTime(sDate);

When I run this above code I get an Exception saying that"
String was not recognized as a valid DateTime."

How can I convert this string into date Time Format.

That should do the trick:

C#

string time = "Thu Sep 23 19:34:06 IST 2010";
string pattern = "ddd MMM d HH:mm:ss IST yyyy";
IFormatProvider culture = new CultureInfo("en-US", true);
DateTime timeVal;
bool bSuccess = DateTime.TryParseExact(time, pattern, culture, DateTimeStyles.AllowWhiteSpaces, out timeVal);
MessageBox.Show(timeVal.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"));
