Localizing Dates and Times

On Web sites that support multiple languages, rendered pages must display dates and times in the format appropriate for the language chosen by the user.

Commerce Server provides several Component Object Model (COM) objects for processing date and time values in different languages. These features include:

• AppFrameWork Object. This object includes several methods for retrieving locale-sensitive date and time values from HTTP requests. These methods are:

  AppFrameWork.RequestDate

  AppFrameWork.RequestDateTime

  AppFrameWork.RequestTime

• DataFunctions Object. This object includes several methods for converting locale-sensitive date and time strings to their equivalent Variant values, and back again. These methods are:

  DataFunctions.ConvertDateString

  DataFunctions.Date

  DataFunctions.ConvertDateTimeString

  DataFunctions.DateTime

  DataFunctions.ConvertTimeString

  DataFunctions.Time

For more information about these objects, see Display Objects.
