Hi Group,

I would like to have "dd-MM-yyyy" in my XML datatime fields, but I am
getting 2005-02-25T00:00:00. Is there an trick to DataSet.WriteXMl that
creates the wanted format?


Greetings,

Paul

Why would you want that? The format is standardized so that other XML
tools understand it. If you need a different format in a final output
representation then do that by processing the XML but for data exchange
you should use the standard format.

I've always wondered how anybody could actually know what culture was being
used when the day and month values were each 12 or less...

// which is the month and which is the day?
2005-02-02T00:00:00.
