How to use Full Date Short Time ("f") Format Specifier

Description

The "f" specifier combines the long date ("D") and short time ("t") patterns, separated by a space.

The following DateTimeFormatInfo properties control the format.

• LongDatePattern
• ShortTimePattern
• DayNames
• MonthNames
• TimeSeparator
• AMDesignator
• PMDesignator

Example

The following example uses the "f" format specifier to display a date and time value.

/*from w w  w  .  j a  va2  s  .com*/
using System;
using System.Globalization;
class MainClass
{

  public static void Main()
  {
        DateTime date1 = new DateTime(2012, 4, 10, 6, 30, 0);
        Console.WriteLine(date1.ToString("f", CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US")));
        Console.WriteLine(date1.ToString("f", CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("fr-FR")));

  }

}

The code above generates the following result.
