So if you are getting the Birth date value from Database or from anywhere, them put that in one variable.

C#

DataTime birthDate = new DataTime(1985, 1, 1); // or get from Database.
textbox1.text = birthDate.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy");

Try this:

C#

textbox1.text=DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy");

or

C#

textbox1.text=(Convert.ToDateTime("1-1-1985")).ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy");

Output will be:

24-Sep-2012

I don't need today date, DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy");

I need Birth date.like that(01-Jan-1985)(12-Sep-1989)

I think there is no difference between this and your requirements. Anyway convert your date to DateTime and then try changing your format.
