1Can you please elaborate a bit more? Are you saying you have a string in that format and want to put it into a DateTime variable or are you saying you have a DateTime variable and want to get a string out with only the date and no time?Jim– Jim2012-08-07 16:04:56 +00:00Commented Aug 7, 2012 at 16:04

If you have a DateTime object and want to get the string in that format, use myDateTime.ToString("dd-MMM-yy"). If you have a DateTime object and want to return a new DateTime object that is just the date component, use DateTime.Date.

It wouldn't hurt to note that, since MMM results in a culture specific value that the OP should specify the culture if they really always want the string

Like this:
DateTime dt = DateTime.Today; //or whatever
string dateString = dt.ToShortDateString();
You can also use ToString() to format it however you like. In your case, it would be:
string dateString = dt.ToString("dd-MMM-YY");
Comments
use method DateTime.ToShortDateString(); or DateTime.ToLongDateString()
