DateTimeFormatInfo.SortableDateTimePattern Property
Gets the custom format string for a sortable date and time value.
Namespace: System.Globalization
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The SortableDateTimePattern property defines the culture-specific format of date strings that are returned by calls to the DateTime.ToString and DateTimeOffset.ToString methods and by composite format strings that are supplied the "s" standard format string.
The following example displays the value of SortableDateTimePattern 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.SortableDateTimePattern ); } } /* This code produces the following output. CULTURE PROPERTY VALUE en-US yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss ja-JP yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss fr-FR yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss */
