System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo.ShortTimePattern Property

Gets or sets the custom format string for a short time value.

Syntax

public string ShortTimePattern { get; set; }

Value

A string containing the format pattern for a short time value.

Exceptions

TypeReason
ArgumentNullExceptionThe value specified for a set operation is a null reference.
InvalidOperationExceptionThe current instance is read-only and a set operation was attempted.

Remarks

The DateTimeFormatInfo.ShortTimePattern property defines the culture-specific format of date strings that are returned by calls to the DateTime.ToString and DateTimeOffset.ToString methods and by composite format strings that are supplied the "t" standard format string.

We recommend that you set the time separator in the short time pattern to an exact string instead of using the time separator placeholder. For example, to obtain the pattern h-mm-ss, set the short time pattern to "h-mm-ss".
