Display Multi Country Date And Time In Windows Application Using C#

Here, we will see how to display runtime multi-country date and time using C#.

Today, I am going to show you how to display date and time of multiple countries in your Windows application, using C#.

Just consider here, I am going to display date and time of three countries, with 24-hour and 12-hour range format.

Here, I have added some label for representing the country names. For date column, I have created separate labels and for timing, I have created separate labels.



Then, I have added the timer control in my form to diplay the current running time. Just double click the timer button for writing the code, as shown below.

private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    label2.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("hh:mm:ss tt");
    label10.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm:ss");
    label7.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("d-MM-yyyy");
    label14.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("d-MM-yyyy");
    TimeZoneInfo TZI = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("GMT Standard Time");
    DateTime UK = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime(DateTime.Now, TZI);
    label3.Text = UK.ToString("hh:mm:ss tt ");
    label11.Text = UK.ToString("HH:mm:ss");
    label8.Text = UK.ToString("d-MM-yyyy");
    label16.Text = UK.ToString("d-MM-yyyy");
    TimeZoneInfo TZIUS = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("Central America Standard Time");
    DateTime US = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime(DateTime.Now, TZIUS);
    label5.Text = US.ToString("hh:mm:ss tt");
    label12.Text = US.ToString("HH:mm:ss");
    label9.Text = US.ToString("d-MM-yyyy");
    label18.Text = US.ToString("d-MM-yyyy");
}

Then, give below code to start the timer on page load.

Timer1.start();
Timer1.Intervels = 1000; // 1000 = 1 seconds

From the above code, you can see that I get the Timing Information from the local system and I convert that information to string and display in the Windows Form.

Date and Time String Formats 

For time formats 

For 12-Hours, you can use .......... hh:mm:ss tt

For 24-Hours, you can use .......... HH:mm:ss 

For Date Formats 

d-MM-yyyy ----- 18-04-2017

dd-MMM-yyyy - 18-Mar-2017

And the final output would be like the below screen.
