Hi All

regional settings made at the operating system level. For example, Canada
uses a dd/mm/yyyy format while the US uses mm/dd/yyyy.

how can i get this type date format :
iam using this code in C#:
System.DateTime.UtcNow.Date.ToString();

Regards
Venu.

Click to expand...

DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");
or
DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy");

See "custom date and time format strings" in MSDN for more information.
 
Venu,

What you can do is use the static CurrentCulture or CurrentUICulture
properties on the Thread class to get the current culture for the thread.
That will return a CultureInfo instance which you can then get the
DateTimeFormat property of to get the datetime format that is set for the
system.

Hope this helps.
