The ShortDatePattern 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 "d" standard format string.
This property is affected if the value of the Calendar property changes.
The following example modifies the ShortDatePattern property of a DateTimeFormatInfo object that represents the formatting conventions of the English (United States) culture. It also displays a date value twice, first to reflect the original ShortDatePattern property and then to reflect the new property value.
