Thanks Rob.

Interesting thing is when I implement Rick's code, I get the culture as "en-us" so the dates get set to mm/dd/yyyy. Where does it get this setting from? I have my Format set to English (Trinidad and Tobago) under the Region applet in Windows. Where do I set the culture?

later

I found this setting is in the Region applet under the Administrative tab where it says "Language for non-unicode programs". If I change the settings there to English (Trinidad and Tobago) then the display will work as I expect (at least so far in my testing, but I wouldn't bet my life on it).

As this does not seem like the setting I am really looking for maybe this code isn't what I should be using. Is there any way to pull the Short Date format from the Formats tab?

>You may need to get it from Request.UserLanguages instead of CultureInfo.CurrentCulture. See https://weblog.west-wind.com/posts/2014/Mar/27/Auto-Selecting-Cultures-for-Localization-in-ASPNET for a complete method.
