I've hit a snag with an application I wrote because of the differing
date formats in different countries.
It's a set of pages that make calls to a COM object that I have wrapped
in a web service. The COM object isn't mine, and it wants to receive
dates in a short date format, and it seems to inherit the localized
settings of it's host machine. The machine with that service/COM object
is in Canada and is set to use dd/mm/yyyy date format, and the server
with the pages is in the US and is using mm/dd/yyyy.
When I make calls to the web service, I'm converting the date sent in
using Date.ToShortDat e (which I realize now was a bad decision). I
figured I could get around this by changing the pages server to use
dd/mm/yyyy via the Control Panel, but it seems to have no effect on the
short date being passed to the web service.
Does asp.net have a setting elsewhere that sets this? Any other ideas
(that don't require a code change)? Thanks!

ToShortDateStri ng uses the current thread's CultureInfo object. That class
defines the structure of dates, times, numbers, currency and a few things
about text. Every thread has one.
Since this issue also affects validators, take a look at the section
"Validators support for globalization" in my article at http://aspalliance.com/699. It will give you specifics.

Thanks! I think that set us straight (or at least in the right direction).

My regional setting (on Win2000) is:
(General Tab)Locale = English (US)

When I ask .Net DateFormat.ShortDatePattern,
I get MM/dd/yyyy
Now, where does the yyyy part come from? It looks as if
DateFormat does not look in the overriden format on the
Date tab and just assumes that English(US) is fixed to MM/dd/yyyy...

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out a method to look up by a range of dates,
entries in a database. The format of the date in the database is "M\D
\yyyy HH:MM:SS".
What i need to do is take the dates that are in the database
(formatted as above), isolate the date (which is in short format) and
compare it to the short formatted date in a datetimepicker.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
