See DateTimeFormatInfo for patterns that can be combined to construct custom patterns, for example, "MMMM dd".
This property is affected if the value of the Calendar property changes.
Your applications are recommended to set MonthDayPattern to the exact value of interest, instead of attempting to have the date separator replaced. For example, to obtain the pattern MM-DD, the application should set "MM-DD" specifically.
The following example displays the value of MonthDayPattern for a few cultures.
using namespace System; using namespace System::Globalization; void PrintPattern( String^ myCulture ) { CultureInfo^ MyCI = gcnew CultureInfo( myCulture,false ); DateTimeFormatInfo^ myDTFI = MyCI->DateTimeFormat; Console::WriteLine( " {0} {1}", myCulture, myDTFI->MonthDayPattern ); } int main() { // Displays the values of the pattern properties. Console::WriteLine( " CULTURE PROPERTY VALUE" ); PrintPattern( "en-US" ); PrintPattern( "ja-JP" ); PrintPattern( "fr-FR" ); } /* This code produces the following output. The question marks take the place of native script characters. CULTURE PROPERTY VALUE en-US MMMM dd ja-JP M'?'d'?' fr-FR d MMMM */
