See DateTimeFormatInfo for patterns that can be combined to construct custom patterns, for example, "HH:mm".
Your applications are recommended to set the short time pattern to the exact value of interest, instead of attempting to have the time separator replaced. For example, to obtain the pattern h-mm-ss, the application should set "h-mm-ss" specifically.
The following code example displays the value of ShortTimePattern 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.ShortTimePattern ); } } /* This code produces the following output. CULTURE PROPERTY VALUE en-US h:mm tt ja-JP H:mm fr-FR HH:mm */
