The string designator for hours that are "ante meridiem" (before noon). The default for InvariantInfo is "AM".
Exceptions
Remarks
If the custom pattern includes the format pattern "tt" and the time is before noon, DateTime.ToString displays the value of AMDesignator in place of the "tt" in the format pattern. If the custom pattern includes the format pattern "t", only the first character of AMDesignator is displayed.
For cultures that do not use an AM designator, this property returns an empty string.
