What's the best way to format a column that holds a DateTime?
posted

I have a column that will hold times, and I'd like to use the users ShortTimeFormat format.  I see the column has a Format property, and I can put "hh:mm" in it and that works, but it won't be very culture sensitive.  How can I use the user's machine's formats?

     Format just calls ToString on the value of the column and passes in the format. So check the MS Documentation on the DateTime data type and it's ToString method and see what formats it supports. I'm sure there must be a format that allows you to specify the system ShortTime format.
