DateTimeFormatInfo::UniversalSortableDateTimePattern Property
Gets the format pattern for a universal sortable date and time value, which is associated with the "u" format pattern.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Property Value
Type: System::StringThe format pattern for a universal sortable date and time value, which is associated with the "u" format pattern.
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 specifier ("yyyy'-'MM'-'dd HH':'mm':'ss'Z'") is the same regardless of culture or format provider.
The following example displays the value of UniversalSortableDateTimePattern 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->UniversalSortableDateTimePattern ); } 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. 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' */
