Answer 1

Use the PersianCalendar:

string GregorianDate = "Thursday, October 24, 2013";
DateTime d = DateTime.Parse(GregorianDate);
PersianCalendar pc = new PersianCalendar();
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{0}/{1}/{2}", pc.GetYear(d), pc.GetMonth(d), pc.GetDayOfMonth(d)));

Answer 2

You can use PersianDateTime:

PM> Install-Package PersianDateTime

The Reference: PersianDateTime

You can use string.Split() if you need customization.

Answer 3

    DateTime date = new DateTime(2013, 10, 24);
    var calendar = new PersianCalendar();
    var persianDate = new DateTime(calendar.GetYear(date), calendar.GetMonth(date), calendar.GetDayOfMonth(date));
    var result = persianDate.ToString("yyyy MMM ddd", CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("fa-Ir"));

In windows 10, using framework 4+:

Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToDateTime("1392/08/02",new CultureInfo("fa-IR")));

or

Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Parse("1392/08/02", new CultureInfo("fa-IR")));

I suggest using MD.PersianDateTime, you can use it as easy as DateTime:

var persianDateTimeNow = PersianDateTime.Now;
persianDateTimeNow.EnglishNumber = true;
Console.WriteLine(persianDateTimeNow.ToString());
