Default value is set to the "d". If value has length of 1 (single flag-character such as: d, f, g, s, etc.), then the System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture is used to obtain date pattern. Otherwise, this property is treated as explicit date pattern.
Example of explicit pattern: "dd-MM-yyyy" To learn about format flags and patterns, see documentation for the System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo class.
Note The "z" and "g" characters and "%c" style in pattern are ignored. Possible day of the week field is ignored, and abbriviated month name is converted to digit.
