How to set datagridview column which is datetime to currentculture datetime format in c# ?

Question

I have a datagridview on a winform's form. I need to set the format of one of the columns in the grid to the currentculture's datetime format.

I was doing (bad, I know)

testGrid.Columns[3].DefaultCellStyle.Format = "MM/dd/yyyy". But that doesn't work on a european system.

DateTimeFormatInfo dtFormat = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat;

testGrid.Columns[3].DefaultCellStyle.Format = dtFormat doesn't work because it's not a string.

How do I crack this nut?

thanks for any help.

Answer 1

Try this:

testGrid.Columns[3].DefaultCellStyle.Format = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern;
