The CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat() object gives information about system date and time formats. Its FullDateTimePattern, ShortDatePattern, and ShortTimePattern properties give patterns you can use in ToString to generate formatted dates and times. The InvariantInfo().FullDateTimePattern value gives a pattern for generating an invariate date and time.
