Answer 1

A combination of string- and DateTime-methods

string input = "08/23/2016~08:00 - 12:00~D";
string datePart = input.Split('~')[0].Trim();
DateTime dt;
if (DateTime.TryParse(datePart, DateTimeFormatInfo.InvariantInfo, DateTimeStyles.None, out dt))
{
    string output = dt.ToString("dddd,MMMM dd,yyyy", DateTimeFormatInfo.InvariantInfo);
}
