Try This Code:


DateTime DTime = new DateTime(); 
DTime =Convert.ToDateTime(DateTime.Today.Date.ToShortDateString()); 
lblDate.Text = string.Format("{0:MM-dd-yy}",DTime);

Are you using CultureInfo in convertion? If not try to use Convert.ToDateTime http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9xk1h71t(v=vs.90).aspx

If it works on your machine, but not on the server, then I suspect that you are storing culture specific date format (in the database?), and parsing it using the default culture on the server.

 CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo("de-DE");
 string germanTime = DateTime.Now.ToString(ci);
 DateTime now = DateTime.Parse(germanTime);    // Can cause error if the current thread or machine's culture is not German

If you're saving DateTime values in the database, then you should be using CultureInfo.InvariantCulture to prevent these type of problems. You can also try to configure the culture on the server machine to match the culture format of the date time being parsed, but it's not as robust.

Hopefully, your web application has not ended up storing multiple date formats in your database or else it is going to be a mess.
