You could - but you don;'t need to. The default DateTime.ToString method returns whatever your PC is set to, but you can tell it to return exactly what you want. See Here[^] for full details.
Did you know: That by counting the rings on a tree trunk, you can tell how many other trees it has slept with.

...that are run on that PC. Run your app on someone else's PC and you have no idea what results you will get... Bad idea to rely on PC user setup for specific features!

there is a Control Panel often called Regional Settings where each PC user chooses the way dates, times, currencies, etc. are shown by default. For user interaction your app can (and should) choose to use those default settings (that is when you use those specialized methods such as ToLongDateString(), they really mean "take whatever format the user has chosen"). The advantage is the user gets what he prefers, the disadvantage is you cannot predict how wide things will be and the screenshots in your manual may slightly differ from the user's reality. Of course, there also are situations where the format must be fixed, e.g. when writing the date to a file that is going to be used on some other system. That is where you should use ToString() and either pass an explicit formatting string or have your thread's CultureInfo fixed. :)

This is not the correct way to go. Changing a system setting like that will only screw up the data/time format for EVERYTHING on that PC, not just your app. It's your job to update your code so that is works and plays nice with others. The solution you want is just you being lazy. The correct solultion is to properly write the code so that the users don't need to worry about what your app is doing to other apps on their machines.

So it proves that your code does not work in all cases. The solution is to update your code so that it does, not change the cases where it doesn't.
