C#: ShortDatePattern giving incorrect result

Question

I have dd-MM-yyyy date pattern for my windows machine. In below code I'm trying to get date format through C# code, but it's giving me M/d/yyy instead of dd-MM-yyyy. In code is correct ?

Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now);

  Console.WriteLine(CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern);

Answer 1

Use CurrentCulture instead of CurrentUICulture`.

CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern

CurrentCulture is for formatting of numbers and dates.
CurrentUICulture for localisation.
