Is there a way to determine the OS's date/time culture format (e.g.
mm/dd/yyy vs. dd/mm/yyy) setting at run time?
TIA

CultureInfo.Cur rentCulture.Dat eTimeFormat will give you a
DateTimeFormatI nfo which should have the info you need.
In some situations, CurrentUICultur e would be more appropriate. See the
docs for more details.

Sorry to contradict, but in all situations dealing with formats
(number/date/time), CurrentCulture is the thing you need.

Ah, I see. I was under the mistaken impression that in an ASP.NET
setting, the CurrentUICultur e would be set to the CultureInfo of the
browsing user whereas CurrentCulture would be the system default
culture.
It is indeed a bit of a mess. Still, just one more bit of i18n
trickery...

Hi,
how do I validate a date using a RegularExpression-validator control ?
e.g. 05/20/2004
(May 20, 2004)
Or should I use another validator-control ? and how ?
Thanks

I use CompareValidator to validate a date. But CompareValidator can only one
date format at one time. if the dateorder is "mdy", date format can only be
mdy even if date format is ymd. But users of a web application may be
around the world and since database can accept many date format, so are
there any ways to let CompareValidator accept many data formats at one
time?
Thanks

Hello there,
In my asp.net page using VB, I have a date text field in mm/dd/yyyy
format. When a date is entered, I'd like to validate it to make sure
the date is greater than or equal to the current date. If not, I'd
like to display the error message to ValidationSummary.
It seems to make sense to me to use CompareValidator but the problem
is put the current date into CompareValidator. So, I created a hidden
text field in my aspx. ...

When I copy a vb.net project using date formats from one PC with a windows

How can I change for a while in the project the date format in vb.code (
not in Windows) and how can I find out which date format the PC Windows is
using.
Thanks for any response

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
