Please can you advise how I can return a localized formatted date on the server side from an IApplicationService?

I can do this locally in Angular using moment.js but I want to format the server side date to export a PDF.

    Hi,

    In your case it is better to return date values as string, otherwise ABP will normalize datetime values. You can convert datetime values to string using culture like this:

    CultureInfo enUS= new CultureInfo("en-US");
datetime.ToString("d", enUS);

    Hi ismcagdas,

    Thank you for replying. I don't however know what the current logged in users culture is from the server side, how can I find this out?

    Kind regards, David Hawkins

    Hi,

    You can get it from Current Thread's Culture or CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.

    Thanks.
