I want to use a standard date format that displays date, month and year

  • 0

I want to use a standard date format that displays date, month and year in the standard regional settings of the pc. However I could only find “D” which lists day along with Date-Month-Year. Is there any way I can remove the day from it or any other way to get my desired output?

DateTime date1 = new DateTime(2008, 4, 10);
Console.WriteLine(date1.ToString("D", 
                  CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US")));
// Displays Thursday, April 10, 2008

Note: I don’t want to be using custom format (d MMMM yyyy) as I want the regional settings of the order to be maintained.

    If you’re using one of the standard formats, then what gets displayed is going to depend on the culture anyway – so even if you could find something which doesn’t display the day of week in en-US, it may still display it in other cultures.

    I suppose you could find the DateTimeFormatInfo for the culture, find its LongDatePattern and then remove any occurrence of a single “d” from that format string. It would be pretty nasty though.
