The following code example displays the value of LongDatePattern for a few cultures.
using System; using System.Globalization; public class SamplesDTFI { public static void Main() { // Displays the values of the pattern properties. Console.WriteLine( " CULTURE PROPERTY VALUE" ); PrintPattern( "en-US" ); PrintPattern( "ja-JP" ); PrintPattern( "fr-FR" ); } public static void PrintPattern( String myCulture ) { DateTimeFormatInfo myDTFI = new CultureInfo( myCulture, false ).DateTimeFormat; Console.WriteLine( " {0} {1}", myCulture, myDTFI.LongDatePattern ); } } /* This code produces the following output. The question marks take the place of native script characters. CULTURE PROPERTY VALUE en-US dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy ja-JP yyyy'?'M'?'d'?' fr-FR dddd d MMMM yyyy */
