Create a object of DateTime and try to parse the datetime in string to its format. You may use the code below :

DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact("2009-09-05", "yyyy-mm-dd");
Console.WriteLine(dt.ToString("MMMM dd yyyy"));

:)

You can Bind DateformatString to your Repeter Bound Field Like,

ASP.NET

<asp:boundcolumn datafield="DateTime" dataformatstring="{0:MMMM dd yy}" />
