Question

public enum WebWizDateFormat
{
    DDMMYY,
    MMDDYY,
    YYDDMM,
    YYMMDD
}

 

public class WebWizForumUser
{
    public WebWizDateFormat DateFormat { get; set; }

    public WebWizForumUser()
    {
        this.DateFormat = WebWizDateFormat.DDMMYY;
        HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(this.DateFormat);
    }
}

This works, but when I response.write it needs to come out in the format “dd/mm/yy”, how can I do this?

Answer 1

The simple answer is don’t use an enum for this. How about a static class?

public static class WebWizDateFormat
{
    public const string USFormat = "MM/DD/YY";
    public const string UKFormat = "DD/MM/YY";
}

// . . .
string dateFormat = WebWizDateFormat.USFormat;

(Just a sample, rename the fields to whatever makes sense for you.)
