Here's another approach using the String.Format method:

int year = DateTime.Now.Year - 2000;
textBox1.Text = String.Format("/{0}-{1}/00001", year, year + 1);

HI you can do like this
String temp = "/current financial year(11-12)/00001";
int indexOfStartBrace = temp.IndexOf('(');
int indexOfEndBrace = temp.LastIndexOf(')');
string btwBraces = temp.Substring(indexOfStartBrace);
string temp1 = btwBraces.Replace("(", "/");
MessageBox.Show(temp1.Replace(")", String.Empty));

also if you want to remove 20 from year...i mean to say 11 instead of 2011 use below code....

                            string dt=DateTime.Now.Year.ToString();
                             dt = dt.Remove(0, 2);
                            string dt1=DateTime.Now.AddYears(1).Year.ToString();
                              dt1 = dt1.Remove(0, 2);
                            textBox1.Text="/"+dt+"-"+dt1+"/00001";

output is like /11-12/00001

Thanx,
Pravin.
