   System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.None,out startDate);

Any help is highly apprenticed Thanks, Magz

You can do:

string formattedDate = ((DateTime)drtemp["StartDate"]).ToString(dateFormat);

See MSDN DateTime.ToString reference

Or You could do this:

String.Format(dateFormat, (DateTime)drtemp["StartDate"])

Try

string date = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yy");
string date1 = DateTime.Now.ToString("MM/dd/yy");
string date2 = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MMM/yy");

In your case you could do

string formattedDate = drtemp["StartDate"].ToString("dd/MM/yy");
