By date format I don't mean the one used by .net
to format date types
Date format shown to the user with a french culture could be jj/mm/aaaa
(jour = day, mois = month, an = year).
For example in html
an <input type="date" />
would show the format above as an input placeholder.
does .net have this format info available ?
CodePudding user response:
When you specify the culture (replace en-US with your culture:
CultureInfo.GetCultureInfoByIetfLanguageTag("en-US").DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern;
Or with the Current Culture
CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern;
RESULTS The first will return M/d/yyyy The second will return (in my case, as I am in Switzerland) dd/MM/yyyy
CodePudding user response:
Hi you can use CultureInfo
You'll need to import Globalization
using System.Globalization;

Here's a code example :
DateTime thisDate = new DateTime(2022,08,13);
CultureInfo culture = new CultureInfo("fr-FR");
Console.WriteLine(thisDate.ToString("d", culture));
