## Class TDateFormat

Description

To format dates and/or time according to the current locale use

     <com:TDateFormat Pattern="dd:MMM:yyyy" Value="01/01/2001" />

The date will be formatted according to the current locale (or culture) using the format specified by 'Pattern' attribute.

To format date and/or time for a locale (e.g. de_DE) include a Culture attribute, for example:

     <com:TDateFormat Culture="de_DE" Value="01/01/2001 12:00" />

The date will be formatted according to this format.

If no Pattern was specified then the date will be formatted with the default format (both date and time). If no value for the date is specified then the current date will be used. E.g.:

    <com:TDateFormat />

will result in the current date, formatted with default localized pattern.
