string s = "May 29,2012";
DateTime dt;

You can use the DateTime.Parse or DateTime.ParseExact methods to parse the string into a DateTime then you can use the DateTime.ToString() to return the date in the new format. For standard formatting check this page for custom date formats this

Take a look at DateTime.ToString() method, Custom Date and Time Format Strings and Standard Date and Time Format Strings

string customFormattedDateTimeString = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");

Easy peasy:

var date = DateTime.Parse("14/11/2011"); // may need some Culture help here
Console.Write(date.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"));
