  ToShortDateString in another Culture

  Sep 29, 2006 11:05 AM|artashes|LINK

  Hello!

  My projects Culture is "ru-RU".
  I want to represent my Date object in a short date string format in another culture (e.g. "en-US" ).
  I can approach this, by changing my threads culture. 

  System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = usCulture

   Or using tostring

  myDate.ToString("yyyy*MM*dd")

  But is it the best method? Is there something like myDate.ToShortDateString (curCulture as CultureInfo ) [:)] ???
  

  Thanks
  Artashes

  Here are some practices Microsoft recommends:

  And some others:

  I found the solution in your links! 

  Dim myDTFI As Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo = New Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US", False).DateTimeFormat
  lblDate.Text = myDate.ToString(myDTFI.ShortDatePattern)

   Thanks a lot
