Currently i can fetch ShortDatePattern form this culture info

CultureInfo cultureInfo = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture;
string datePattern = cultureInfo.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePatter

But if i change short date format from PC this pattern will not change untill apllication is invoked again because of CultureInfo-This will remain in application once it is started .Is there another way to fetch ShortDatePattern from system without using CultureInfo

Call CultureInfo.ClearCachedData[^]. Hope is helps :-)

And perhaps use UserPreferenceChangedEventHandler[^] and check UserPreferenceChangedEventArgs.Category Property[^] to check for Locale - Indicates changes in user preferences for regional settings, such as the character encoding and culture strings.
