I’m having the same problem. My date format is MM/dd/yyyy. How do i find out the date format in my system and change it with code.

Answer 1

You should set proper culture for a current thread. DateTime.Parse uses date settings from culture of current thread (btw, I love you, Reflector!):

public static DateTime Parse(string s)
{
    return DateTimeParse.Parse(s, DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo, DateTimeStyles.None);
}   

where “DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo” is:

public static DateTimeFormatInfo CurrentInfo
{
    get
    {
        CultureInfo currentCulture = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;
        if (!currentCulture.m_isInherited)
        {
            DateTimeFormatInfo dateTimeInfo = currentCulture.dateTimeInfo;
            if (dateTimeInfo != null)
            {
                return dateTimeInfo;
            }
        }
        return (DateTimeFormatInfo) currentCulture.GetFormat(typeof(DateTimeFormatInfo));
    }
}

There are a lot of how-to about globalisation, just try to search them ( example of such how-to :))
