Convert string date to Datetime C#

How can I convert 1-2-2016 to Datetime format dd-MMM-yyyy

For Example :

The output of 1-2-2016 should be 1-Feb-2016

I've tried the following code but it's returing 2-Jan-2016.

 Updated_Value = Convert.ToDateTime(Updated_Value).ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy");

The Data in Update_Value variable is coming from database whose datatype is varchar.

Kindly Help me to resolve this .

Thanks in advance .

Try this:

DateTime dt;
DateTime.TryParseExact(Updated_Value, "d-M-yyyy", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, DateTimeStyles.None, out dt);

var newdate = dt.ToString("d-MMM-yyyy");
