Hi,
Check below. Is this want you?

C#
DateTime Date1 = Convert.ToDateTime(ddlDate1.SelectedValue);
DateTime Date2 = Convert.ToDateTime(ddlDate2.SelectedValue);
DateTime Date3 = Convert.ToDateTime(ddlDate3.SelectedValue);
DateTime Date4 = Convert.ToDateTime(ddlDate4.SelectedValue);

string d1,d2,d3,d4;

if(Date3.AddDays(1)== Date1)
{ // validation true

   // store direct dropdown value because it is already in "d MMM yyyy" format
   d1 = ddlDate1.SelectedValue;
   d3 = ddlDate3.SelectedValue;

   // if dropdown is not in "d MMM yyyy" format
   d1 = Date1.toString("d MMM yyyy");
   d3 = Date3.toString("d MMM yyyy");
}
else
{
   // show error message and date 1 should be
   d1 = Date3.AddDays(1).toString("d MMM yyyy");
   d3 = Date3.toString("d MMM yyyy");
}


if(Date4.AddDays(1)== Date2)
{ // validation true

   // store direct dropdown value because it is already in "d MMM yyyy" format
   d2 = ddlDate2.SelectedValue;
   d4 = ddlDate4.SelectedValue;

   // if dropdown is not in "d MMM yyyy" format
   d2 = Date2.toString("d MMM yyyy");
   d4 = Date4.toString("d MMM yyyy");
}
else
{
   // show error message and date 2 should be
   d2 = Date4.AddDays(1).toString("d MMM yyyy");
   d4 = Date4.toString("d MMM yyyy");
}
