DateTime

The date and time to convert.

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.
