VB.NET Date/Time Formatting Property

using System.Globalization

DateTimeFormatInfo.InvariantInfo

Internationalization (I18n) Property Overview

Returns the default DateTimeFormatInfo instance that is culture-independent.

For more information see Microsoft's MSDN online documentation.

I18n Issues

The invariant, or culture-independent, DateTimeFormatInfo instance is always English with no country or region designation and so should not be used in an internationalized application.

Recommended Replacements

Use the DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo property to create a DateTimeFormatInfo object for the culture of the current thread. To create a DateTimeFormatInfo object for a specific culture, create a CultureInfo object and then retrieve the CultureInfo.DateTimeFormat property.
