Thanks

But the problem here is I cant send the "MMM" format, Why because i have a java script date picker which will return only the format like this "dd-MM-yyyy"

suggest me how to make this work, Thing is i cant change the format of date how it is displaying to the client

it would be great if i get the format like this 'yyyy-MM-dd'. This can be easily understandable to sql

try as follows:

C#

DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
                string s = now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");

in place of DateTime.Now u can pass the date that u want to convert.
