@Div: that answer does not cover the parsing part of the question. — Richard, Oct 15 '16 at 10:11
@Richard, Yes you are right, but there are numbers of question which can able to solve this, look at this : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4649639/how-to-convert-date-format-to-dd-mm-yyyy-in-c-sharp — Divyang Desai, Oct 15 '16 at 10:14
@Div that's the same Q you linked to earlier (and it still doesn't handling parsing into a `DateTime` to allow formatting). — Richard, Oct 15 '16 at 10:16

You can convert using DateTime.ParseExact

string dt = "10-October-2016";
string date = DateTime.ParseExact(dt, "dd-MMMM-yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).ToString("dd-MM-yyyy");
