C#: Convert current DateTime object to its equivalent string representation of current culture

C# Sharp DateTime: Exercise-36 with Solution

Write a C# Sharp program to convert the current DateTime object value to its equivalent string representation. This is done using the current culture's formatting conventions.

Sample Solution:-

C# Sharp Code:

using System;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Threading;

public class Example36
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      // Get the current culture
      CultureInfo currentCulture = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;

      // Define a specific date and time
      DateTime exampleDate = new DateTime(2016, 5, 16, 18, 32, 6);

      // Display the date using the current (en-US) culture.
      Console.WriteLine(exampleDate.ToString());

      // Change the current culture to fr-FR and display the date.
      Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("fr-FR");
      Console.WriteLine(exampleDate.ToString());

      // Change the current culture to ja-JP and display the date.
      Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("ja-JP");
      Console.WriteLine(exampleDate.ToString());

      // Restore the original culture
      Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = currentCulture;
   }
} 

Sample Output:

5/16/2016 6:32:06 PM                                                                                          
16/05/2016 18:32:06                                                                                           
2016/05/16 18:32:06
