Solution 1

Hi, try to use this:

Example

C#

string inputDate = "03/12/2012";

DateTime dt = DateTime.MinValue;
dt = DateTime.Parse(inputDate);

string formatDate = String.Format("{0:MMM d, yyyy}", dt); //Set on how the format of ajax calendar has been set

Hope it helps! :)

Solution 2

C#

1) DateTime.Parse("your date", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

2) DateTime.ParseExact("your date", "dd-MMM-yyyy",System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
