Regional Setting from vb.net application

[Harsha Shah]

Hello,

I have an application that requires specific date format on user's system,
so they have to do the setting throgh control panel-> regional setting ->
customise -> date -> short format -> dd/MM/yyy.
If I want to do the same thing automatically when my vb.net application
start, then how can I, any samples available,
Thanks in advance.

Harsha,

If your program is well written, than you never need this.

It is almost forever better to remove those wrong written parts than to
change culture settings.

Therefore can you write why it is needed?

Just my opinion.

I suggest to take a look at the 'System.Globalization' namespace,
'CultureInfo', and 'DateTimeFormatInfo'. In addition to that, you can
specify a certain format string for 'Date.ToString', Date.Parse', and
'Date.ParseExact'.

Applications SHOULD NOT require a certain date format to be applied to the
whole system.
