C#: Convert the value of the current DateTime object to its equivalent long time string representation
Write a C# Sharp program to convert the current DateTime object value to its equivalent long time string representation.
Sample Solution:-
C# Sharp Code:
using System;
using System.Threading;
using System.Globalization;
public class Example33
{
public static void Main()
{
// Create an array of culture names.
String[] names = { "en-CA", "en-AU", "fr-CH", "de-AT" };
// Initialize a DateTime object.
DateTime dateValue = new System.DateTime(2016, 8, 17, 10, 30, 15);
// Iterate the array of culture names.
foreach (var name in names) {
// Change the culture of the current thread.
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(name);
// Display the name of the current culture and the date.
Console.WriteLine("Current culture: {0}", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name);
Console.WriteLine("Date: {0:G}", dateValue);
// Display the long time pattern and the long time.
Console.WriteLine("Long time pattern: '{0}'",
DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.LongTimePattern);
Console.WriteLine("Long time with format string: {0:T}", dateValue);
Console.WriteLine("Long time with ToLongTimeString: {0}\n",
dateValue.ToLongTimeString());
}
}
}
Sample Output:
Current culture: en-CA
Date: 2016-08-17 10:30:15 AM
Long time pattern: 'h:mm:ss tt'
Long time with format string: 10:30:15 AM
Long time with ToLongTimeString: 10:30:15 AM
Current culture: en-AU
Date: 17/08/2016 10:30:15 AM
Long time pattern: 'h:mm:ss tt'
Long time with format string: 10:30:15 AM
Long time with ToLongTimeString: 10:30:15 AM
Current culture: fr-CH
Date: 17.08.2016 10:30:15
Long time pattern: 'HH:mm:ss'
Long time with format string: 10:30:15
Long time with ToLongTimeString: 10:30:15
Current culture: de-AT
Date: 17.08.2016 10:30:15
Long time pattern: 'HH:mm:ss'
Long time with format string: 10:30:15
Long time with ToLongTimeString: 10:30:15
Flowchart:
Go to:
PREV : Write a C# Sharp program to convert the value of the current DateTime object to its equivalent long date string representation.
NEXT : Write a C# Sharp program to convert the value of the current DateTime object to its equivalent short date string representation.
