title: Convert DateTime in DataRow to a formatted date string
body: <p>I'm hoping that there is something I am not seeing clearly, but to simplify, I have the below code</p>
  
  <pre><code>foreach (DataRow row in dt.Rows)
  {
    row["StartOn"] = Convert.ToDateTime(row["StartOn"].ToString()).ToString("MMM dd").ToString();
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I run the below code I get “Aug 09”</p>
  
  <pre><code>Convert.ToDateTime(row["StartOn"].ToString()).ToString("MMM dd").ToString();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I look to see what is in row[“StartOn”] after this change it contains “8/9/2016 12:00:00 AM”</p>
  
  <p>I'm unable to format my DataRow to an "MMM dd" format</p>
