How to convert english date to arabic date in .Net

Question

Hi i am looking for method to transform English date in this format dd/MMM/yyyy to Arabic date

for example 18/Feb/2016 will be in Arabic ١٨/فبراير/٢٠١٦

Answer 1

Try using something like this:

DateTime.Now.ToString("dd dddd , MMMM, yyyy", new CultureInfo("ar-AE"));

instead of the DateTime.Now just put whatever DateTime object you want to convert.

Answer 2

Use CultureInfo class to convert date formats in different languages.

using System.Globalization;    
DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("dd dddd , MMMM, yyyy", new CultureInfo("ar-AE"));
