ASP or ASP.NET?
Data format is irrelevant as soon as your database store time, not strings representing time.

Solution 1

Use the date format of your choice in the ToString

Txtdateofbirth=sdr.GetValue(2).ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");

Might need to cast it first though

Txtdateofbirth=((DateTime)sdr.GetValue(2)).ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");

This assumes the field is stored as a Date or DateTime field, if it isn't then it should be.

The strings are case-sensitive, there is no valid "DD" or "YYYY" it is "dd" and "yyyy" exactly as I stated in my post.

Solution 2

SqlDataAdapter sda=cmd.ExecuteReader();
While(sda.Read())
{
DateTime dt=Convert.ToDateTime(sda["DateOfBirth"]);
}
