Date Edit - The default date format has become culture-dependent

What Changed

Date Edit uses a short date format pattern that depends on the settings of the current culture.

Reasons for Change

In previous versions, Date Edit used the constant "MM/dd/yyyy" date format if a user did not set the Format property. This format might look irrelevant in specific cultures.

Impact on Existing Apps

This change affects your application UI if you use Date Edit with the default format applied in your application's code.

How to Revert to Previous Behavior

You can use the Format and DisplayFormat properties to change the date format for edit and display modes, respectively. If the DisplayFormat  property is not set, the Format is applied both in display and edit modes.

To revert to the previous format, set the corresponding property to "MM/dd/yyyy".
