How to display a date in a specific language
By Edward Tanguay, published on 01 Aug 2003
I do some of my developing on German servers which was always a drag when it came to formatting dates. With .NET you can set the culture info and it is taken care of automatically for you. Nice.
// using System.Globalization // stick this at the top of your class
CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo("en-US");
DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
Response.Write(dt.ToString("f",ci));
Response.Write("<br><br>");
DateTime dt2 = DateTime.MinValue;
Response.Write(dt2.ToString("f",ci));
