Question

User1542227094 posted

Hi,

    I have asp.net project developed in VS2003 then converted to VS2005 using Web Application Project Model. every thing seems working perfect but have a problem with date format. to the user i need to show date in M/d/yyyy format. my culture is en-US. but when i check the below code

Dim culture As CultureInfo = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(Request.UserLanguages(0))

response.write(culture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern)

the output is d/M/yyyy.

But other projects that  run on my machine show M/d/yyyy for the same code

Please suggest what are the possible places where i need to check for the datetimepatterns to be M/d/yyyy

Regards,

RK

Hi,

DateTimeFormatInfo acctually defines how <?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = MSHelp NS = "http://msdn.microsoft.com/mshelp" /><MSHelp:link tabIndex=0 keywords="T:System.DateTime">DateTime</MSHelp:link> values are formatted and displayed, depending on the culture.

For more details, please refer

There is sample code in this link. hope this helps.
