Returns
A string array where each element is the representation of the value of this instance formatted with one of the standard date and time format specifiers.
Examples
The following example demonstrates the DateTime.GetDateTimeFormats() method. It displays the string representation of a date using all possible standard date and time formats in the computer's current culture, which in this case is en-US.
DateTime july28 = DateTime(2009, 7, 28, 5, 23, 15, 16);
array<String^>^july28Formats = july28.GetDateTimeFormats();
// Print [Out] july28* in all DateTime formats using the default culture.
System::Collections::IEnumerator^ myEnum = july28Formats->GetEnumerator();
while ( myEnum->MoveNext() )
{
String^ format = safe_cast<String^>(myEnum->Current);
System::Console::WriteLine( format );
}
let july28 = DateTime(2009, 7, 28, 5, 23, 15, 16)
let july28Formats = july28.GetDateTimeFormats()
// Print out july28 in all DateTime formats using the default culture.
for format in july28Formats do
printfn $"{format}"
DateTime july28 = new DateTime(2009, 7, 28, 5, 23, 15, 16);
string[] july28Formats = july28.GetDateTimeFormats();
// Print out july28 in all DateTime formats using the default culture.
foreach (string format in july28Formats) {
Console.WriteLine(format);
}
Dim july28 As New DateTime(2009, 7, 28, 5, 23, 15, 16)
Dim july28Formats As String()
july28Formats = july28.GetDateTimeFormats()
' Print out july28 in all DateTime formats using the default culture.
For Each format As String In july28Formats
Console.WriteLine(format)

Remarks
The string array returned by the DateTime.GetDateTimeFormats() method is equivalent to combining the string arrays returned by separate calls to the DateTime.GetDateTimeFormats(Char) method with the "d", "D", "f", "F", "g", "G", "m", "o", "r", "s", "t", "T", "u", "U", and "y" standard format strings. For more information about standard format specifiers, see Standard Date and Time Format Strings.
Each element of the return value is formatted using information from the current culture. For more information about culture-specific formatting information for the current culture, see CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.
Important
Because this method uses culture-sensitive data, you should not assume that multiple calls to the method will return identical data. The data returned by this method can change if the current culture changes, the user overrides individual cultural settings, or an update occurs to the system's cultural data.

Each element of the return value is formatted using culture-specific information supplied by provider
.
Important
Because this method uses culture-sensitive data, you should not assume that multiple calls to the method will return identical data unless provider
is a CultureInfo object that represents the invariant culture. The data returned by this method can change if the user overrides the individual cultural settings of provider
or if an update occurs to the system's cultural data for provider
.

Important
Because this method uses culture-sensitive data, you should not assume that multiple calls to the method will return identical data unless provider
is a CultureInfo object that represents the invariant culture. The data returned by this method can change if the user overrides the individual cultural settings of provider
or if an update occurs to the system's cultural data for provider
.
