http://www.csharp-examples.net/string-format-datetime/ has a lot of different formatting options... This should work well for you.

DateTime.ParseExact("24-Jun-2011", "dd-MMM-yyyy").ToString ("yyyy-MM-dd")

See formats here at MSDN.

The best way is to parse the string to a DateTime and then convert it to a string again.

Be sure to have a look at the documentation for DateTime.Parse, DateTime.TryParse and DateTime.ToString

DateTime.Parse(myDate).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");
