date setting in datetime picker

I am using DateTimePicker control. When I select date I want date as 20 Feb 2013, instead I am getting 20-2-2013 or 2/20/2013.

I tried different functions of DateTimePicker.

I kept Format option of DateTimePicker as Short. 

dtpSaudaDate.value.Date.ToShortDateString();    
dtpSaudaDate.value.Date.ToOADate();

None of the function worked. Is there any specific method to get date in that format? [ 28 Feb 2013 ]

Have you tried 

dtpSaudaDate.value.Date.ToString("dd MMM yyyy");

  1. Set Format property of DateTimePicker to Custom
  2. Set CustomFormat property to dd MMM yyyy

UPDATE (month formatting for DateTime)

  • M is a month, from 1 through 12 (2)
  • MM is a month, from 01 through 12 (02)
  • MMM is abbreviated name of the month (Feb)
  • MMMM is full name of the month (February)
