Going forward, please remember that whenever you say "But it gave an error", why not just paste the error here itself. It is hugely helpful for anyone attempting to help you.

Hi Siva, I am assuming, you are trying to access data like this dt.Rows[index][“Colname”].T oString("dd/MM/yyyy"); dt.rows[index].[ColumnName] column is DateTime in database vardatevalue=(DateTime)dt.Rows[i][ "yourdatecolumn" ] .ToString( "dd/MM/yyyy" ,CultureInfo.InvariantCulture); dt.rows[index]. dt[ColumnName] column is String in Database vardatevalue=DateTime.ParseExact(dt.Rows[i][ "yourdatecolumn" ].ToString(), "dd-MM-yyyyhh:mm:sstt" , CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) .ToString( "dd/MM/yyyy" ,CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
