How can i format 07/03/2012 to March 7th,2012 in c# [duplicate]

You can create your own custom format provider to do this:

public class MyCustomDateProvider: IFormatProvider, ICustomFormatter
{
    public object GetFormat(Type formatType)
    {
        if (formatType == typeof(ICustomFormatter))
            return this;

        return null;
    }

    public string Format(string format, object arg, IFormatProvider formatProvider)
    {
        if (!(arg is DateTime)) throw new NotSupportedException();

        var dt = (DateTime) arg;

        string suffix;

        if (new[] {11, 12, 13}.Contains(dt.Day))
        {
            suffix = "th";
        }
        else if (dt.Day % 10 == 1)
        {
            suffix = "st";
        }
        else if (dt.Day % 10 == 2)
        {
            suffix = "nd";
        }
        else if (dt.Day % 10 == 3)
        {
            suffix = "rd";
        }
        else
        {
            suffix = "th";
        }

        return string.Format("{0:MMMM} {1}{2}, {0:yyyy}", arg, dt.Day, suffix);
    }
}

This can then be called like this:

var formattedDate = string.Format(new MyCustomDateProvider(), "{0}", date);

Resulting in (for example):

March 3rd, 2012
