Solution 1

You convert it when you want to display it using ToString("dd/MM/yyyy"). We don't know how you are reading the data or displaying it so it's hard to say specifically but if it is from a data reader then it'll be

string dt = ((DateTime)dataReader["Joiningdate"]).ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");

If you are binding the field in a gridview or something then you can normally specify the format via the control you're binding to.

Try:

SQL

SELECT MyFirstColumn, CONVERT(NVARCHAR(10), JoiningDate, 103) AS [Date], MyLastColumn FROM tbEmployee;
