If your date is a string, try this :

string myDate = "08-07-2016 00:00:00";
DateTime myDateValue = DateTime.ParseExact(myDate, "dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, DateTimeStyles.None);
string myDateString = string.Format("{0: MMMM d}", myDateValue);

Have you tried the following?: 

date.ToString("MMMM d")

Example: 

DateTime date = DateTime.Parse("08-07-2016 00:00:00");
Console.WriteLine(date.ToString("MMMM d"));

Results to: July 8

Try this:

string.Format("{0:MMMM d}", dt);

In C# 6.0 you can do it like this:

$"{dt:MMMM d}";

With "MMM" you get the short version of each month. With "MMMM" you get the full name.

replace 

String.Format("{0:ddd, MMM d, yyyy}", dt)

with

String.Format("{0:MMMM d}", dt)
  • MMMM is the name of the month
  • d is the day without leading 0
