Have a look at [Custom Date and Time Format Strings](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kb3ddd4%28v=vs.110%29.aspx) — huMpty duMpty, Mar 28 '14 at 11:19
Well, you don't really need to convert the datetime value. You just need to specify the output format you want. — Krisztián Balla, Mar 28 '14 at 11:20

You need to convert it first to DateTime, then you could use ToShortDateString:

DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact("11/03/14 12:00 AM", "dd/MM/yy hh:mm tt", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
string result = dt.ToShortDateString();
