C#

try
   {
       string dateformat = "dd/MM/yyyy";
       string[] ass = s.Split('/');
       if (ass[0].Length == 1)
       {
           ass[0] = "0" + ass[0];
       }
       if (ass[1].Length == 1)
       {
           ass[1] = "0" + ass[1];
       }
       s = ass[0] + "/" + ass[1] + "/" + ass[2];
       DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(s, dateformat, null);
       // DateTime dt = Convert.ToDateTime(s);
       string day = dt.Day.ToString();
       string month = dt.Month.ToString();
       string year = dt.Year.ToString();
       s = year + "/" + month + "/" + day;
       s = s.Replace("/", "-");
   }
   catch (Exception err)
   {
   }
   return s;

try it

Solution 2

See this article written by OriginalGriff: Formatting a DateTime for display - format string description[^]
Some other information you'll find here: Indian Number & Date Format[^]

Sometimes, to correctly write date into SQL database you need to SET DATEFORMAT[^].
