X509Certificate.FormatDate(DateTime) Method

Definition

protected:
 static System::String ^ FormatDate(DateTime date);
protected static string FormatDate (DateTime date);
static member FormatDate : DateTime -> string
Protected Shared Function FormatDate (date As DateTime) As String

Parameters

date
DateTime

The date and time to convert.

A string representation of the value of the DateTime object.

Remarks

Some cultures cannot convert future dates into strings. If the expiration date of an X.509 certificate is beyond the range of the culture, FormatDate falls back to a calendar that can express the date. If the Calendar value is UmAlQuraCalendar, the calendar is changed to the HijriCalendar class; otherwise, it is changed to the InvariantCulture.
