How do I format date as 10-Jan-1971 when regional setting is not English

vart · 11-20-2007, 12:04 AM

I have a Windows with Regional settings - Hebrew
I have a consol application

and I have

Code:

System.DateTime date = new System.DateTime(1971,1,10);
System.Consol.WriteLine (date.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy"));

Which outputs some strange non-readable symbols instead of short month name.

I'd like to see a month name or in Hebrew - or (preffered) ignoring regional settings of the windows - in English

How do I do it?

PS. I DO know how to output month as a number. I need a name.
I have tried to change the CodePage of the Consol - no success.

Aded at the beginning of the Main

Code:

                System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-us",false);
