    You can use any culture that supports the dd-mm-yyyy format like the french one.

    For example to format the date time now in a format dd-mm-yyyy you can do as follows:

    cultureInfo culture = new cultureinfo("fr-FR");
    string oFormatedDate = dtNow.ToString("d", culture);

    Either that, or you can specify the date/time format directly as the parameter of the ToString method:

    string dateTime = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss");

    EDIT:

    I just noticed you want to show AM/PM as well, you can show that if you add "tt" in your format string:

    string dateTime = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss tt");

    Just out of curiosity; for which part of the world you want to set up the time?
