DateTime.ToShortTimeString

I have some questions about datetime formatting....In our web app I have the
following in the web.config
<globalization
requestEncoding="utf-8"
responseEncoding="utf-8"
culture="en-US"
uiCulture="en-US"

Based on 3:00 pm time
Now whenever I use DateTime.toShortTimeString I get "3:00 P.M" but what I
really want is "15:00". Do I have to use DateTime.toString("HH:MM")? If I
"hard code" that in my app how will that affect things if my culture changes
to say German? (or is military time universal?) What other things should I
be doing to ensure that our app can be "globalized"?

thanks

Hi,

1) Generally it's good practice to format your data and time to your
chosen format and not to relay on the machine settings. Remember that
any user / administrator can change formats.

2) If you will "hard code" date/time formats it want effects culture
settings:
string date = dt.ToString("D"); produce English string or Hebrew string
depends on culture settings.
