Hi,

Is there any way to pick the data format from operating system settings
using C#?
I am doing an ASP.Net Application.

HI Ishaan:

Take a look at System.Globalization.CultureInfo (and the
CurrentCulture property of the class).

I am able to get 'Locale" information eg:=English(US),English(UK),etc...
from "Control Panel->regional options-> General" programatically using
'CultureInfo ' class. I could get the date format using below code

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture
=CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(Request.UserLan guages[0]);

But We can put a specific data format under "Control Panel->regional
options-> Date" . It does not matter what LACALE is. Is there any way to get
that format from "Control Panel->regional options-> Date".

Please help me to solve this problem.

Hi Ishaan:

You can instantiate a CultureInfo and pass a true as the second
parameter to the constructor. This tells the ctor to use user-selected
culture settings from the system.

Hi Ishann:

You could populate a hidden form field with JavaScript to post to the
server, as shown here:
http://developer.irt.org/script/785.htm

Just be aware this is not a secure and foolproof way, as any client
could easily fake or forge a time (or just have the system clock set
incorrectly).
