Thread.CurrentT hread.CurrentCu lture problem

Hi,

Try adding an event handler to the DataGridView.Ce llFormatting event. Here you can specify any format that you want.

>I set the thread culture in MAIN() as below in order to show the date in format DAY/MONTH/YEAR, but the datagridview alway show the
date in M/d/yyyy.

How to set the default Date format from windows xp control panel by C# coding or is that any way to set the application date
format to d/M/yyyy without change the windows xp regional setting ?
Thread.CurrentT hread.CurrentCu lture = new CultureInfo("en-US", false );

Thread.CurrentT hread.CurrentCu lture.DateTimeF ormat.DateSepar ator = "/";

Thread.CurrentT hread.CurrentCu lture.DateTimeF ormat.ShortDate Pattern = "d/M/yyyy";

Thread.CurrentT hread.CurrentCu lture.NumberFor mat.NumberGroup Separator = ",";

Thread.CurrentT hread.CurrentCu lture.NumberFor mat.NumberDecim alSeparator = ".";

Thread.CurrentT hread.CurrentUI Culture = Thread.CurrentT hread.CurrentCu lture;

I have to set Each DataGridView.Ce llFormatting, is that any way to set the
Date Format to effect the whole application.

Thank you.

Thread.Current Thread.CurrentC ulture = new CultureInfo("en-US", false );

Thread.Current Thread.CurrentC ulture.DateTime Format.DateSepa rator = "/";

Thread.Current Thread.CurrentC ulture.DateTime Format.ShortDat ePattern =
"d/M/yyyy";

Thread.Current Thread.CurrentC ulture.NumberFo rmat.NumberGrou pSeparator =
",";

Thread.Current Thread.CurrentC ulture.NumberFo rmat.NumberDeci malSeparator =
".";

Thread.Current Thread.CurrentU ICulture =
Thread.Current Thread.CurrentC ulture;

Hi,

I tested the following code and it worked for me:

CultureInfo culture = new CultureInfo("en-US");
culture.DateTim eFormat.ShortDa tePattern = "d/M/yyyy";
culture.DateTim eFormat.ShortTi mePattern = string.Empty;

System.Threadin g.Thread.Curren tThread.Current Culture = culture;
System.Threadin g.Thread.Curren tThread.Current UICulture = culture;

The reason why you need to set the ShortDatePatter n and ShortTimePatter n strings is because the DateTimeConvert er, which is used by
the DataGridView cell that is formatting the DateTime into a string, uses the CurrentCulture to format the date in the general,
short-time format (g). The general format uses these two properties and concatenates the time to the date. Unfortunately, the
resulting string has a trailing space which seems to be unavoidable due to the string.Empty assignment, which removes the time from
the general format.

DateTime formatting on MSDN:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/az4se3k1.aspx

For finer-grained control over the formatting of DateTimes in each cell of the DataGridView you must use the CellFormatting event as
I mentioned previously.

Thanks Dave Sexton,

I use your methos and put in my program.cs, it does not work. My program.cs
code in like below, does it any mistake on my code.

static class Program

{

[STAThread]

static void Main()

{

CultureInfo culture = new CultureInfo("en-US");

culture.DateTim eFormat.ShortDa tePattern = "d/M/yyyy";

culture.DateTim eFormat.ShortTi mePattern = string.Empty;

System.Threadin g.Thread.Curren tThread.Current Culture = culture;

System.Threadin g.Thread.Curren tThread.Current UICulture = culture;

Application.Ena bleVisualStyles ();

Application.Set CompatibleTextR enderingDefault (false);

Application.Run (new Main());

}

}

Sorry, Dave Sexton,

It work for me now, I got to set the DataGridView format to "d"

Thank you.
