Hi.
I'm using a macro to output a date and the current time +1 second, but the place that I send it to needs the format to be in english, and not Norwegian.

I'm using the following code:

Code
Copy
Select All

int secondsToAdd = 1;
                DateTime currentDateTime = DateTime.Now;

                DateTime newDate = currentDateTime.AddSeconds(secondsToAdd);
                 text = newDate.ToString("HH:mm:ss dd MMMM yyyy");
        BFS.Clipboard.SetText(text);

When I paste it it outputs Desember, instead of December.
I just noticed the issue as I started using this in November, which is spelled the same way in both languages.
Is there a way I can make it use english form of the word?

My googling found some info about CultureInfo but it didn't accept it.

First of all, you need to add System.Globalization namespace to define CultureInfo. Then into the formatted string you specify CultureInfo.InvariantCulture

Code
Copy
Select All

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Globalization;

public static class ClipboardFusionHelper
{
    public static string ProcessText(string text)
    {
        var secondsToAdd = 1;
        var currentDateTime = DateTime.Now;
        var newDate = currentDateTime.AddSeconds(secondsToAdd);
        var time = newDate.ToString("HH:mm:ss dd MMMM yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
        BFS.Clipboard.SetText(time);
        return null;
    }
}
