USAGE of DateTime.GetDateTimeFormats()

[Sugandh Jain]

Hi,

I am using dotnet framework 2.0, visual studio 2005.

We are using DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime().GetDateTimeFormats( )[105] to
format the string in particular format and using parseint64 after that to
generate an id after removing the - and spaces and other things.

Now, on my system

DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime().GetDateTimeFormats( )[105] returns "09-Jan-07
06:50:07 PM"(Un Desirable) while on all other machines in our project this
returns in the format "2007-01-09 18:50:07". (Desirable Format)

How to ensure that the same value is returned in all the machines?

Regards,

Not sure how to ensure the date time format is returned the same but I think
your difference in date time format is likely to be the locale settings on
the systems being different.

I normally do something like this, the format never changes. You should be
able to do the same with universal time.

DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMddhhmmssffffff");

What you have told is a nice way. but this is taking hour in 12 hour format,
but I want it in 24 hour format, because I have to it to generate ID's which
always increase in value.
How to use it in 24 hr Format does not help..
making "hh" to "hhhh"
