Question

Does anybody know how to convert a DateTime from English to Spanish?

E.g convert:

Monday, January 01, 2011

into

Lunes, Enero 01, 2011 ???

Thanks in advance.

Yyou can use CultureInfo to do this, if you set the current culture in the running thread the date will format in the correct culture
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5hh873ya.aspx

in vb.net

    Dim TheDate As DateTime = DateTime.Parse("January 01 2011")
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = New CultureInfo("es-ES")
MsgBox(TheDate.ToLongDateString)

or c#

DateTime TheDate = DateTime.Parse("January 01 2011");
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("es-ES");
Interaction.MsgBox(TheDate.ToLongDateString());
