International Date Format?

Hello

We have an application we wrote here in the US. A customer of ours in Hong Kong has the Chineese version of Windows XP Pro. The way the system date is formatted over there is different then it is here, and causes the .NET Framework to have a lot of problems when working with the system.date data type. Is there any way to specify what format the system should handle dates in with the .NET Framework? (Is there a flag to say use the MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS TT format vs. their DD/MM/YYYY TT HH:MM:SS

Thanks.
