createdDate.ToString("MMMM dd, yyyy")

Recommend reading this for a lot of different format examples:

Hope this helps

You mean like .ToString("h:mm tt")?

Of course, you could use "t" or ToShortTimeString() [etc] to get what
the user chooses as their time format

Is it so hard to call dt.ToString("h:mm tt")?

If this happens to be a format you want to use frequently, stick it
into a constant. Don't forget that lots of people want subtly
different formats - and different formats are preferred in different
international contexts.

You'd think there would be an easy way to just get a time returned as 9:00
am for example.

Hey guys, thanks for helping me stay lazy this afternoon :-) now I won't
have to slog my way through the docs.

You should go with a standard format (see Marc's answer).
That is culture-sensitive (the right thing), while using
an explicite patern will result in an American format
(even if the culture is French, and the month name,
is French, for example)
