So here is a fullish solution with extension methods. Works for C# 3.0 and above. Mostly plagiarized Nikhil's work:

public static class DateTimeExtensions
{
        static string[] extensions = // 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 
            { "th", "st", "nd", "rd", "th", "th", "th", "tn", "th", "th", 
                // 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 
                "th", "th", "th", "th", "th", "th", "th", "tn", "th", "th", 
                // 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 
                "th", "st", "nd", "rd", "th", "th", "th", "tn", "th", "th", 
                // 30 31 
                "th", "st" 
            };
        public static string ToSpecialString(this DateTime dt)
        {
            string s = dt.ToString(" MMMM yyyy");
            string t = string.Format("{0}{1}", dt.Day, extensions[dt.Day]);
            return t + s;
        }
}

Test/Use Like this:

Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToSpecialString());
Console.WriteLine(new DateTime(1990, 11, 12).ToSpecialString());
Console.WriteLine(new DateTime(1990, 1, 1).ToSpecialString());
Console.WriteLine(new DateTime(1990, 1, 2).ToSpecialString());
Console.WriteLine(new DateTime(1990, 1, 3).ToSpecialString());
Console.WriteLine(new DateTime(1990, 1, 4).ToSpecialString());
Console.WriteLine(new DateTime(1990, 12, 15).ToSpecialString());
Console.WriteLine(new DateTime(1990, 8, 19).ToSpecialString());
Console.WriteLine(new DateTime(1990, 9, 22).ToSpecialString());
Console.ReadKey();

Hope that Helps.
