By default, date format is taken from current regional settings or from your defined
culture.
You can set your own date format by using
DateFormat property.
The following masks can be used:
Day:
- d - Day of month without a leading zero (e.g. 2 or 23)
- dd - Day of month with a leading zero (e.g. 02 or 23)
- ddd - Abbreviated week day name (e.g. Tue)
- dddd - Full week day name (e.g. Tuesday)
Month:
- M - Month without a leading zero (e.g. 4 or 12)
- MM - Month with a leading zero (e.g. 04 or 12)
- MMM - Abbreviated month name (e.g. Jan)
- MMMM - Full month name (e.g. January)
Year:
- y - Year without the century. No leading zero if value is less than 10 (e.g. 6)
- yy - Year without the century with leading zero (e.g. 06)
- yyyy - Full 4-digit year (e.g. 2006)
All of the above combinations will be replaced when encountered.
To not convert a format string, enclose it within single quotes:
'ddd' will not be converted, but
day without quotes will become
23a6 for June
23, 200
6,
so it should be enclosed within single quotes.
