Hope you need to process in c# itself before binding it to gridview or in store procedure you have to do while fetching from db... You want the code?

On SQL Server side:
SQL Server provides DATEFROMPARTS[^] function.
For previous version of MS SQL Sever you need to use Date And Time Functions[^].

Example:

SQL

DECLARE @day INT
DECLARE @month INT
DECLARE @year INT
DECLARE @initDate DATETIME

SET @day = 1
SET @month = 2
SET @year = 2012
SET @initDate = '1900-01-01'

SELECT @day AS [Day], @month AS [Month], @year AS [Year]
SELECT DATEADD(dd, @day -DAY(@initdate), DATEADD(mm, @month-MONTH(@initDate), DATEADD(yy, @year-YEAR(@initDate), @initDate))) AS [Date]

In C# code:

C#

DateTime dt = New DateTime (2012, 12, 1, 0, 0, 0)

When you set datetime variable, you need to format it, using Custom Date and Time Format Strings[^].

Assuming that the datagridview is bound to a datatable and the date, month, year columns are integer type, then you could add a the Date_Format column to the datatable with one nasty column expression. :)

C#

string expr = "Convert([date], System.String) + IIf([date] > 10 And [date] < 20, 'th', IIf([date] % 10 = 1, 'st', IIf([date] % 10 = 2, 'nd', IIf([date] % 10 = 3, 'rd', 'th')))) + " 
              + "' ' + IIf([month] = 1, 'January', IIf([month] = 2, 'February', IIf([month] = 3, 'March', IIf([month] = 4, 'April', IIf([month] = 5, 'May', IIf([month] = 6, 'June', IIf([month] = 7, 'July', IIf([month] = 8, 'August', IIf([month] = 9, 'September', IIf([month] = 10, 'October', IIf([month] = 11, 'November', IIf([month] = 12, 'December', '')))))))))))) + " 
              + "' ' + Convert([year], System.String)";

yourDataTable.Columns.Add("Date_Format", typeof(string), expr);
