Format datetime...

Doug Swanson

I'm trying to get a datetime value (10/24/2001 6:00 AM) to display as
10/24/01 6:00. I know I could hard code some format but I'm trying to use
the culture info etc. so that (and this is my understanding of it) if in the
web.config I change the culture info to some country that disaplays as
dd/mm/yy hh:mm then my app will display this in that manner.
I can't seem to find any examples using the culture info...on a side note if
I have a varable (mydate as DateTime) and it has a valid datetime value and
I use one of it's functions...aka mydate.getshort date() or
mydate.getlongd ate() will this return the value according to what my culture
info is set to.

thanks
Doug

I had to display all my dates in Australian format.
The solution turned out to be really easy.
I just added a culture attribute to the end of my globalization tag in my
web.config:

<globalizatio n requestEncoding ="utf-8" responseEncodin g="utf-8"
culture="en-AU"/>
