How to format string containing date like "Mon Oct 17 00:00:00 UTC-0300 2016" to dd/MM/yyyy
<p>I'm using a hierarchical telerik mvc grid, and I need to pass fields from the parent grid to controller action as parameters so I can use them to excecute a stored procedure, which will show its results in the child grid.</p>

<p>One of those fields is a date, and is parsed like "Mon Oct 17 00:00:00 UTC-0300 2016". Since Telerik controls return dates as string, I hace to expect a string parameter, convert it to a date format, and the excecute the stored procedure.</p>

<p>I can't convert the field in client side since the DataSource of the child grid is where I declare the parameters that the controller action will recieve. This is why I need to, once I reached the action, convert the string into the format I need before calling the stored procedure.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot.</p>
