Globalization and Localization Namespaces in Visual Studio

The namespaces in the .NET Framework for globalizing and localizing applications and components include:

System.Globalization - contains classes that define culture-related information, including the language, the country/region, the calendars in use, the format patterns for dates, currency and numbers, and the sort order for strings.

Are you trying to get the globalization settings for your system, or the system of a remote client (web or desktop user)?

I have a logger where the date and time were in French and the system is in UK.

When dealing with date-times, it's best to always use GMT/UTC once you've left the presentation layer of your application. That way everyone knows a single timezone, and the app can convert it to the local timezone on the local PC (which knows what timezone it's in).

So far as formatting (like when passing a date around as a string), the ISO-8601 format works really well. See:
