How to read "Regional and language option"? 1

[tg2003]

Hello,

I'd like to let my app run only if the Regional settings is in English format (US/UK is OK). How can I read it?
I'm using VB.NET 2008

See the link:

Thanks!

Thanks.

On the other hand, I may prefer to reformat the date format.
Currently I'm developing an app which users from whole world may use. I don't know their regional settings in advance.

What is considered the best for the scenario in which I don't know the user date format in advance, and I just want to reformat it to English-US format (and then do some validations checks on it)?

Currently I use

Format(System.DateTime.FromOADate(today.ToOADate), "MM/dd/yyyy")

but I'm not sure it's the best consideration.

Thanks again.

I am not sure if it is the best way. May be some one else here can tell you.
This can be smaller

Format(Date.Today, "MM/dd/yyyy")
