Retrieving the System date and time settingsHi all.
I'm having real trouble finding a simple solution for getting the system date and time settings. All I want to retrieve is the system short date format, is it dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy or yyyy/mm/dd. I can find many articles talking about changing date formats, but nothing for actually getting the setting. Anything would be gratefully received! (VB.Net 2003/2005) Cheers, Tull. well you may detect this with the DateTimeFormatInfo class

just use: My.Application.Culture.DateTimeFormat You'll have all you need (and a lot more!)
