启用邪恶-覆盖System.DateTime的默认ToString

Had an interesting back and forth with Tom Wayson today. He wanted to be able to "modify the default behavior of DateTime.ToString()."

今天与汤姆·韦森(Tom Wayson)来回有趣。 他希望能够“修改DateTime.ToString()的默认行为”。

So, pushing aside issues of localization and the questions of "why would you want to do that?" let's look at the problem.

因此，撇开本地化问题和“您为什么要这样做？”的问题，放在一边让我们看一下问题。

He has an intranet application and doesn't need to localize it. He wants to 'enforce' a specific date/time format and wants to avoid writing DateTime.Now.ToString("MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss") everytime. He also doesn't want to explicitly set the system-wide settings in Control Panel | Regional Settings.

他有一个Intranet应用程序，不需要对其进行本地化。 他想“强制执行”特定的日期/时间格式，并希望避免每次都写DateTime.Now.ToString(“ MM / dd / yy HH：mm：ss”)。 他也不想在“控制面板” |“控制面板”中显式设置系统范围的设置。 区域设置。

He noted that the output of DateTime.Now.ToString on a standard en-us machine in the states gave this output:

他指出，在标准的en-us计算机上，各州的DateTime.Now.ToString的输出给出了以下输出：

8/15/2006 3:27:27 PM

2006/8/15下午3:27:27

It looks like the output of ToString is the combination of the DateTimeFormatInfo.ShortDatePattern and DateTimeFormatInfo.ShortTimePattern. So, he: 

看起来ToString的输出是DateTimeFormatInfo.ShortDatePattern和DateTimeFormatInfo.ShortTimePattern的组合。 因此，他：

But the output was still 12 hour time:

但是输出仍然是12小时：

Ah...a little Reflectoring shows us that the default format string for System.DateTime is "G" as in System.DateTime.ToString("G") where G is one of the presets.

啊...稍微的Reflectoring向我们展示了System.DateTime的默认格式字符串是“ G”，就像System.DateTime.ToString(“ G”)一样，其中G是预设之一。

From PowerShell we see:

在PowerShell中，我们看到：

PS>C:\Documents and Settings\shanselm\Desktop[DateTime]::Now.ToString("g")
8/15/2006 3:28 PMPS>C:\Documents and Settings\shanselm\Desktop[DateTime]::Now.ToString("G")
8/15/2006 3:28:02 PMPS>C:\Documents and Settings\shanselm\Desktop[DateTime]::Now.ToString()
8/15/2006 3:28:15 PM

PS> C：\ Documents and Settings \ shanselm \ Desktop [DateTime] ::: Now.ToString(“ g”) 2006/8/15下午3:28 PS> C：\ Documents and Settings \ shanselm \ Desktop [DateTime] ::: Now.ToString(“ G”) 2006/8/15下午3:28:02 PS> C：\ Documents and Settings \ shanselm \ Desktop [DateTime] :: Now.ToString() 2006/8/15下午3:28:15

So we add:

And gets the output he expects, indicating that "G" is the combination of a ShortDate and a LongTime.

并获得他期望的输出，表明“ G”是ShortDate和LongTime的组合。
