Session.LICD

Hello!

I'm having problem with Session.LCID. I haven't used this function much.

The problem is with the date format. I am working on a website from Australian Client, where the date format is "dd/mm/yyy".

The problem is when the date is greater then 12 then it shows the date in correct format i.e "dd/mm/yyy" else it shows the date in "mm/dd/yyyy".

Example:

Session.LCID = 3081 (for Australia)

5/08/2005 -- When the date is less then 12 then this is what I get. It should be 8/5/2005 i.e 8th May 2005

27/5/2005 -- When the date is greater then 12 then it shows date in correct format.

Any Idea..
Any Help...

I doubt this. The date being served is either dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy, I dont believe date figures can change or interact with formats.

Anyhow - I am in Aussie and have come accross this problem/solution more than once (on different OS's) What OS (IIS version) is your server?

Have a good read of this post:
http://p2p.wrox.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_...Cdate%2Cformat

The solution for OS < 2003 server is on page two (Registry change) - some useful date formatting functions one page one.

For 2003 IIS 6.0:

Are you placing this code in your global.asa file?
If the global.asa is not in the root of your IIS default web site you need to make it a virtual directory

To avoid issues I run functions around all of my dates on all of my pages now. This way you will always show your intended format no matter what the servers settings are.
