Hi Niclas,
I think you want to apply the cultureinfo to the thread to be sure it is
formatted for GB. Try the code below and let us know if it helps?

Hi,
I want to display a date in UK format (dd/MM/yyyy) and am using a culture
info object for this. using
Convert.ToString(MyDate, _CultInfo)
works fine, besides that the string includes the time as well.
I have tried using
Convert.ToString(MyDate.ToshortDatestring, _CultInfo)
But this will format the date with US format
Any ideas on how to display a short date formatted string in UK format ?
