DateTime.ToString() - Can you set a default? 1

[MattWoberts]

Hi.

I always want my dates to be in the format of "dd-MMM-yyyy". Can I set a default format for "toString" in my DateTime objects, rather than doing dtmDate.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy&quot all over the code?

The only solution I can think is to create my own DateTime, and inherit from DataTime, and add my own ToString overload... there must be an easier way!!!

The default formatting uses the CultureInfo.CurrentCulture that is attached to your thread/process. You can change this (you need the correct security permission) by assigning a new CultureInfo object to your CurrentThread.CurrentCulture property.
