Date Conversation

Hello
I want to develop a simple module for Date Conversation. I can convert Christian date to Persian and show the result, but when I try to convert Persian date to Christian, because mojoportal shows date time as current culture calendar, the result that shows is incorrect for who their language set to Persian. ( again Persian date shows.)
How can I display correct date?

Thanks

Re: Date Conversation

In your custom feature you can change the culture used by the executing thread to whatever culture you want. Or else create a CultureInfo object and use it for formatting the date strings rather than letting it use the one the thread is running on.

CultureInfo myCulture = new CultureInfo("en-US");

string formatedDate = DateTime.UtcNow.ToString(myCulture);

Hope it helps,

Joe
