C# - .NET: Local Date Format From Language Tag/culture?
Aug 4, 2010
Given a CultureInfo object or language tag (e.g. "en-US") string, is there a function that will give me the default DateTime string format (e.g. "mm/dd/yyyy") for that specific culture/language?
I'm following the instructions step by step in VS 2010, and it creates the resource files exactly how it's supposed to. However, when I run the program it just doesn't apply it. I don't see the different values from the resource file.
If I leave my resource file name as sample.aspx.resx, it works. But when I change it to sample.aspx.en-us.resx, it doesn't work. I'm supplying culture from the aspx page's Culter and UICulture properties. I'm being very careful in choosing the correct file name, as that could be the issue, but it just doesn't work. I also tried changing the culture in the backend code this way:
Protected Overrides Sub InitializeCulture() [code]....
With asp.net MVC 2, I have been trying to get Matt Hawley's Localization helper to work in my web application, but I am getting stuck feeding a null into the Language string variable. I can't figure out why I am doing this.
On one of my pages I display a datetime (from a database) and it is formatted correctly as a UK date time (dd-mm-yyyy) on my local machine. However when I deploy it to a server it reverts to American format (mm-dd-yyyy). Does anyone have any idea of when this might be happening?This might be outside the scope of stackoverflow

I am creating a multi language web site. English & Marathi. I took a dropdownlist control & I added both languages in it. And when I select any language it works fine.But I can't able to write in the TextBox control. I am referring this web site :
I have an Label where I need to show the value 0.00 if the culture is Englidh and 0,00 if the Culture is french. I am using the following code but it does not work.
If culture is en-GB then string dateFormat="dd/mmyyyy"; string timeFormat="24.00 hrs";
and so on for other countries..Now how do I get these date and time format values ? What are the standards? Like which all countries use similar date/time formats and which ones don't ?ok I tried this :- DateTime myDate = new DateTime(); string us = myDate.ToString(new CultureInfo("en-US"));
string us gets value =1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM
Now how do I extract "dd/mm/yyyy" and "24.00 hrs" out of this...in my Dateformat column in my Table... I want to store STRINGS such as dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy NOT dates..In my TimeFormat column in the table, the values to be stores are STRINGS too, like I need to store either "24:00hrs" or "12:00hrs"
How do I do this now ?**using ShorTimePattern returns these values as h:mm tt and HH:mm
If I want to store the values in my DB exactly as "24:00hrs" and "12:00hrs", how do I use these values..h:mm tt and HH:mm,which one is for 24 hr format and which for 12 hr format ?**I want the information about Decimal Separator and Thousand Separator too based on the CultureInfo...whats the property for that ?
Dim strTime as String = FomatDateForSave("28/12/2010") Public Shared Function FormatDateForSave(ByVal strDate As String) As Date FormatDateForSave = Date.ParseExact(strDate,'dd/MM/yyyy', System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) End Function
I am expecting strTime to be "12/28/2010" .... But its getting converted to "28/12/2010" The thing is when the operation is performed by FormatDateForSave ... it converts it to "12/28/2010" But when it is returned it is again converted to "12/28/2010"
I have set the Date for Page.Culture to be "dd/mm/yyyy" and want the value to be "mm/dd/yyyy" to be saved in DB.
