Hi, try this:

CultureInfo culture = new CultureInfo( "en-US" );
DateTime date = DateTime.Now;
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = culture;

MessageBox.Show( date.ToShortDateString() );

Try something like
CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern

Hi Karunakararao,

Add this at top of code :

using System.Globalization;

Then try this :

MessageBox.Show(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern);

You can replace ShortDatePattern with LongDatePattern,
FullDateTimePattern or whatever suits your needs. Use Intellisense to
discover more patterns.

HTH,
Michel
