VB.NET Date/Time Formatting Property
using System
DateTime.Now
Internationalization (I18n) Property Overview
The DateTime.Now property is the
DateTime object encapsulating
the current, local date and time on this computer.
See Microsoft's
MSDN online documentation for more information.
I18n Issues
Because DateTime
objects are culture-sensitive, developers retrieving
this property need to ensure that the
CultureInfo has been set
properly in the current thread, which would in turn ensure that the
DateTime.Now object was instantiated to use the correct
set of culture-specific rules.
It is also important to check code that uses the DateTime.Now
property to make sure that pieces of the current DateTime aren't being pasted
together in a locale-specific way, as in the case of the incorrect usage
example below.
