DateTimeFormatInfo.UniversalSortableDateTimePattern Property
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
UniversalSortableDateTimePattern can be used to display time in a sortable format with the universal time designator "Z" at the end. The format is sortable because it uses leading zeros for year, month, day, hour, minute, and second. The pattern ("yyyy'-'MM'-'dd HH':'mm':'ss'Z'") is the same regardless of culture or format provider.
The following code example displays the value of UniversalSortableDateTimePattern 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.UniversalSortableDateTimePattern ); } } /* This code produces the following output. CULTURE PROPERTY VALUE en-US yyyy'-'MM'-'dd HH':'mm':'ss'Z' ja-JP yyyy'-'MM'-'dd HH':'mm':'ss'Z' fr-FR yyyy'-'MM'-'dd HH':'mm':'ss'Z' */
import System.* ;
import System.Globalization.* ;
public class SamplesDTFI
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Displays the values of the pattern properties.
Console.WriteLine(" CULTURE PROPERTY VALUE");
PrintPattern("en-US");
PrintPattern("ja-JP");
PrintPattern("fr-FR");
} //main
public static void PrintPattern(String myCulture)
{
DateTimeFormatInfo myDTFI = (new CultureInfo(myCulture, false))
.get_DateTimeFormat();
Console.WriteLine(" {0} {1}", myCulture, myDTFI
.get_UniversalSortableDateTimePattern());
} //PrintPattern
} //SamplesDTFI
/*
This code produces the following output.
