Examples

The following example displays the value of LongDatePattern for a few cultures.

Imports System.Globalization

Public Class Example
   Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
      ' Displays the values of the pattern properties.
      outputBlock.Text &= " CULTURE    PROPERTY VALUE" & vbCrLf
      PrintPattern(outputBlock, "en-US")
      PrintPattern(outputBlock, "ar-EG")
      PrintPattern(outputBlock, "fr-FR")
   End Sub 

   Public Shared Sub PrintPattern(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock, ByVal myCulture As [String])
      Dim myDTFI As DateTimeFormatInfo = New CultureInfo(myCulture).DateTimeFormat
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("  {0}     {1}", myCulture, myDTFI.LongDatePattern) & vbCrLf
   End Sub  
End Class 
'This example produces the following output.
'        CULTURE    PROPERTY VALUE
'         en-US     dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy
'         ar-EG     dd MMMM, yyyy
'         fr-FR     dddd d MMMM yyyy

      PrintPattern(outputBlock, "en-US");
      PrintPattern(outputBlock, "ar-EG");
      PrintPattern(outputBlock, "fr-FR");
   }

   public static void PrintPattern(System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock outputBlock, String myCulture)
   {
      DateTimeFormatInfo myDTFI = new CultureInfo(myCulture).DateTimeFormat;
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("  {0}     {1}", myCulture, myDTFI.LongDatePattern) + "\n";
   }
}
