What do you mean?

You mean you need to read the date and parse from a label? Just get the Text property of the label and feed it to either TryParse or TryParseExact; e.g. -

Imports System.Globalization

Module Module1
    Sub Main()
        Dim [date] As DateTime
        Dim culture As CultureInfo = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("es-ES")
        Dim data As String = "jueves 14 de marzo del 2019"
        If DateTime.TryParseExact(data, "dddd dd \de MMMM \del yyyy", culture, DateTimeStyles.None, [date]) Then
            Console.WriteLine([date].ToString("dddd dd o\f MMMM o\f yyyy", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture))
        Else
            Console.WriteLine("Could not convert date")
        End If
        Console.ReadLine()
    End Sub
End Module

Open in new window

Which produces the following output -

Just assign the result of the ToString method to a variable; e.g. -

Imports System.Globalization

Module Module1
    Sub Main()
        Dim dates = Enumerable.Range(0, 10).Select(Function(i) DateTime.Now.AddDays(-(i * 9)))
        Dim culture As CultureInfo = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("es-ES")
        For Each [date] In dates
            Dim output As String = [date].ToString("dddd dd \de MMMMM \del yyyy", culture)
            Console.WriteLine(output)
        Next
        Console.ReadLine()
    End Sub
End Module

Open in new window

Which produces the following output -
