C#: Date and time value by using different conventions

C# Sharp DateTime: Exercise-38 with Solution

Write a C# Sharp program to use these three format strings to display a date and time value. This is done by using the conventions of the en-CA and SV-FI cultures.

formats = { "G", "MM/yyyy", @"MM\/dd\/yyyy HH:mm", "yyyyMMdd" }

Sample Solution:-

C# Sharp Code:

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

public class Example38
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      // Array of date and time formats to display
      String[] formats = { "G", "MM/yyyy", @"MM\/dd\/yyyy HH:mm", "yyyyMMdd" };
      // Array of culture names
      String[] cultureNames = { "en-CA", "sv-FI" };
      // Specific DateTime object
      DateTime date = new DateTime(2016, 5, 17, 13, 31, 17);

      // Iterate through each culture
      foreach (var cultureName in cultureNames) {
         // Create a CultureInfo object for the specified culture
         var culture = new CultureInfo(cultureName);

         // Display the native name of the current culture
         Console.WriteLine(culture.NativeName);

         // Display the formatted date for each format in the formats array
         foreach (var format in formats)
            Console.WriteLine("   {0}: {1}", format, date.ToString(format));

         Console.WriteLine(); // Add a line break between cultures for clarity
      }
   }
}
