Have a look at the examples on MSDN for using the PersianCalendar class.

var cal = new PersianCalendar();

var today = DateTime.Now;

var persianDate = string.Format("{0}/{1}/{2}", 
    cal.GetDayOfMonth(today), 
    cal.GetMonth(today), 
    cal.GetYear(today));

When you want to format the DateTime in your application, you need to use a DateTime.ToString overload.

Select the appropriate standard Date and Time format string - in this case "g" looks like a good fit.

If you have not set up your webserver to use the fa-IR culture by default, you will need to pass this culture in as well.

string farsiDate = myDateTime.ToString("g", CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("fa-IR");
