Public Shared ReadOnly Property CurrentInfo As DateTimeFormatInfo
A read-only DateTimeFormatInfo object based on the CultureInfo object for the current thread.
The following example uses the CurrentInfo property to retrieve a DateTimeFormatInfo object that represents the formatting conventions of the current culture, which in this case is the en-US culture. It then displays the format string and the result string for six formatting properties.

using System.Globalization;
public class Example
{
public static void Main()
{
var date = new DateTime(2016, 05, 28, 10, 28, 0);
var dtfi = DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo;
Console.WriteLine("Date and Time Formats for {0:u} in the {1} Culture:\n",
date, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name);
Console.WriteLine("{0,-22} {1,-20} {2,-30}", "Long Date Pattern",
dtfi.LongDatePattern,
date.ToString(dtfi.LongDatePattern));
Console.WriteLine("{0,-22} {1,-20} {2,-30}", "Long Time Pattern",
dtfi.LongTimePattern,
date.ToString(dtfi.LongTimePattern));
Console.WriteLine("{0,-22} {1,-20} {2,-30}", "Month/Day Pattern",
dtfi.MonthDayPattern,
date.ToString(dtfi.MonthDayPattern));
Console.WriteLine("{0,-22} {1,-20} {2,-30}", "Short Date Pattern",
dtfi.ShortDatePattern,
date.ToString(dtfi.ShortDatePattern));
Console.WriteLine("{0,-22} {1,-20} {2,-30}", "Short Time Pattern",
dtfi.ShortTimePattern,
date.ToString(dtfi.ShortTimePattern));
Console.WriteLine("{0,-22} {1,-20} {2,-30}", "Year/Month Pattern",
dtfi.YearMonthPattern,
date.ToString(dtfi.YearMonthPattern));
}
}
