Standard Date and Time Format Strings

For the ease of some pain in the arse... :)

DateTime theDate = DateTime.Now;
string result, showTodays;
result = theDate.ToString("dddd");
CultureInfo culture = new CultureInfo("pt-BR");
showTodays = theDate.ToString("G", culture);
lblDateToday.Text = result;
lblShowDate.Text = showTodays;

What else in.... theDate.ToString("XXXX");

Use ToString(String) and the current thread culture.

Culture:                      English (United States)
